How To Attribute Myself to Book I Publish with Pen Name?

I am working on a technical book. Planning to publish with Amazon's Createspace.

Decided on a pen-name because:

1. Real name is too long, hard to spell and pronounce for most people
2. Given current political environment, real-last name sounds like I'm in unfavorable cultural group and people have reacted negatively in past (let's leave it at that)
3. Hear lot of stories about people gleaning your personal info from open sources and using it against you (I deleted all my social media accounts in past year)

Question: How to keep my book fairly anonymous to the public at large, but prove to friends, family, coworkers, prospective employers, etc. that I in fact wrote the book?
