To my mother Shubhada and father Dhananjay without whom I wouldn’t be where I am today. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank all members of Information Security Lab for providing an excellent and inspiring work environment. I would like to thank my su-pervising professor Dr. Matthew Wright, who gave me a chance to work with him. His uncompromising quest for excellence and supreme work ethics inspired me to reach my goals. I am grateful to Dr. Donggang Liu and Mr. Michael O’Dell for their interest in my research and for taking time to serve on my thesis committee. Of all my colleagues, I want to express my special thanks to: Aniket Pingley, my room-mate during the past two years. Our whiteboard duals made complex problems re-ally simple and I attribute a lot of my success to him. Kiran Mehta was always ready with a helping hand whenever I was stuck during the implementation phase of my project. I had lot of interesting and evening-filling discussions, not only about my research but also about other important things of life with him. I would like to thank all my colleagues for their support. Finally, I owe special gratitude to my family for their continuous and unconditional support: to my mother Shubhada for being what she is, to my father Dhananjay for the interest he showed in my studies and the motivation he gave me during those tiring times, and to my brother Manoday for his enduring patience, understanding, and support.
