I am fortunate to be surrounded by people that helped me reach this milestone in
one piece.
First,
  I want to acknowledge that my brother, Victor, provided me with unlimited
  tutoring before my PhD studies.  I would not be on my current path without
  him.
Second,
  Sarah and Andreas, thank you for challenging and supporting me.  You have been
  a determinantal part of my personal growth and well-being.
Finally,
  Mom, thank you for being around whenever I need it.

Several doors were opened for me at Karlstad University.  Stefan Alfredsson and
Stefan Lindskog kick-started my undergraduate studies with programming feedback,
increased-pace study plans, and the opportunity to be involved in the
department.  Tobias Pulls introduced me to computer security research.  We have
worked closely ever since, and \emph{I strongly recommend him as an advisor and
collaborator}.  Simone Fischer-H\"{u}bner, Stefan Lindskog, Leonardo Martucci,
and Tobias Pulls all provided sincere advice during my PhD studies.  Many other
individuals selflessly helped me forward.  Some of them include
  Ala Sarah Alaqra,
  Linus Nordberg,
  Jenni Reuben,
  Fredrik Str\"{o}mberg, and
  Paul Syverson.

I am further grateful for my
collaborators:
  Matthew Finkel,
  Toke H{\o}iland-J{\o}rgensen,
  Andreas Kassler,
  Linus Nordberg,
  Tobias Pulls,
  Tom Ritter,
  Paul Syverson, and
  Jonathan Vestin.
They are all driven individuals that I learned a lot from.
I also appreciate the generous funding received from
  the Swedish Knowledge Foundation and
  the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research.
