Schell recently joined USC/ISI supporting their Masters of Cyber Security degree program. He is internationally recognized for originating several key modern security design and evaluation techniques, and he holds patents in cryptography, authentication and trusted workstation. For more than decade he has been co-founder and President of Aesec Corporation, a start-up company providing verifiably secure platforms. Previously Dr. Schell was co-founder and vice president for Gemini Computers, Inc., where he directed development of their highly secure (what NSA called Class A1 ) commercial product, the Gemini Multiprocessing Secure Operating System (GEMSOS). He was also the founding Deputy Director of NSA s National Computer Security Center. He has been referred to as the "father" of the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (the "Orange Book"). Dr. Schell is a retired USAF Colonel. He received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the MIT, an M.S.E.E. from Washington State, and a B.S.E.E. from Montana State. The NIST and NSA have recognized Dr. Schell with the National Computer System Security Award. In 2012 he was inducted into the inaugural class of the National Cyber Security Hall of Fame.

2 Dr. Amr Awadallah is the CTO/Cofounder, Cloudera, Inc. Before co-founding Cloudera in 2008, Amr was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Accel Partners. Prior to joining Accel he served as Vice President of Product Intelligence Engineering at Yahoo!, and ran one of the very first organizations to use Hadoop for data analysis and business intelligence. Amr joined Yahoo after they acquired his first startup, VivaSmart, in July of Amr holds a Bachelor s and Master s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cairo University, Egypt, and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. Peter G. Neumann (Neumann@CSL.sri.com) has doctorates from Harvard and Darmstadt. After 10 years at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in the 1960s, during which he was heavily involved in the Multics development jointly with MIT and Honeywell, he has been in SRI's Computer Science Lab since September where he is a Senior Principal Scientist. He is concerned with computer systems and networks, trustworthiness/dependability, high assurance, security, reliability, survivability, safety, and many risks-related issues such as election-system integrity, crypto applications and policies, health care, social implications, and human needs -- especially those including privacy. He is currently PI on two DARPA projects: clean-slate trustworthy hosts for the CRASH program with new

3 hardware and new software, and clean-slate networking for the Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds program. He moderates the ACM Risks Forum ( has been reponsible for CACM's Inside Risks columns monthly from 1990 to 2007, tri-annually since then, chairs the ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy, and has chaired the National Committee for Voting Integrity ( -- which is about to be disbanded in lieu of many other efforts. He created ACM SIGSOFT's Software Engineering Notes in 1976, was its editor for 19 years, and still contributes the RISKS section. He is on the editorial board of IEEE Security and Privacy. He has participated in four studies for the National Academies of Science: Multilevel Data Management Security (1982), Computers at Risk (1991), Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society (1996), and Improving Cybersecurity for the 21st Century: Rationalizing the Agenda (2007). His 1995 book, Computer-Related Risks, is still timely. He is a Fellow of the ACM, IEEE, and AAAS, and is also an SRI Fellow. He received the National Computer System Security Award in 2002, the ACM SIGSAC Outstanding Contributions Award in 2005, and the Computing Research Association Distinguished Service Award in In 2012, he was elected to the newly created National Cybersecurity Hall of Fame as one of the first set of inductees. He is a member of the U.S. Government Accountability Office Executive Council on Information Management and Technology, and vestigially the California Office of Privacy Protection advisory council (although that group has been dormant due to the CA budget crunch). He co-founded People For Internet Responsibility (PFIR, He has taught courses at Darmstadt, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, and the University of Maryland. See his website ( for testimonies for the U.S. Senate and House and California state Senate and Legislature, papers, bibliography, further background, etc. See also the Illustrative Risks annotated index of earlier risks incidents, which is more or less up-to-date regarding items relating to election integrity.

4 Tomoyuki Higuchi is Director-General of The Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM) and an Executive director of the Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS) from April He completed his Ph.D. in Geophysics, Faculty of Science at University of Tokyo in Since joining at ISM in 1989, he has taken the part to development of the statistical modeling study consistently based on the actual problem, and is making an outstanding achievement in the applied research of the Bayesian modeling, in particular, sequential data assimilation. He is a member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Sylvia Osborn received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. Since 1977, she has been a faculty member in the Computer Science Department at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. She is the author of numerous research papers, starting in the database field in dependency theory, and object-oriented databases. More recently she has been active in research into role-based access control including comparison of access control models, administration of access control, delegation. Recently, she has been focusing on the integration of privacy issues with access control, and how the consideration of privacy of individuals' data does or does not differ from access control. Dr. Justin Zhan is the director of ILAB, which is an Interdisciplinary Research Institute at North Carolina A&T State University. He is a faculty member at Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering, North Carolina A&T State University. He has previously been a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University and National Center for the Protection of Financial Infrastructure in South Dakota State. His research interests include Big Data, Information Assurance, Social Computing, and Health Science. He is a steering chair of IEEE International Conference on Social Computing (SocialCom) and IEEE International Conference on

5 Privacy, Security, Risk and Trust (PASSAT). He is currently an editor-in-chief of International Journal of Privacy, Security and Integrity, International Journal of Social Computing and Cyber-Physical Systems, and managing editor of SCIENCE journal. He has served as a conference general chair, a program chair, a publicity chair, a workshop chair, or a program committee member for 200 international conferences and an editor-in-chief, an editor, an associate editor, a guest editor, an editorial advisory board member, or an editorial board member for 30 journals. In recent years, he has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. His research has been funded by NSF, DoD, NIH, NSA, etc. Tsau Young (T.Y.) Lin received his PhD in Mathematics from Yale University. He is a Professor of Computer Science at San Jose State University and a fellow in Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing, University of California. He is the President of International Granular Computing Society and the Founding President of International Rough Set Society. He is one of E-i-C of International Journal of Granular Computing, Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems. He has served on various roles in reputable international journals and conferences. His interests include data/text/web mining, data security and granular/rough/soft computing. He received the best contribution awards from ICDM01 and International Rough Set Society (2005), best service award from IEEE/WIC/ACM WI-IAT2007and a pioneer award from GrC 2008.
