  1. Prodeva - Reputation Based Internet System for controling Spam
    This is my current topic of research. The goal of the project is to apply the concept of Reputation based system to defeat the email spam. I work on analyzing the data to find out the patterns of spam sources and see the effects of various black-lists on such spam messages. I study the existing spam control methods other than commonly used filtering techniques. The group also studies the effects of reputation based systems like e-bay and amazon, analyzing the effects of their feedback system. The next phase of the project will merge these two studies and work towards deriving a solution to spam problem using the the concept of Reputation based system.

  2. XJIF - An extension to JIF compiler to include Dynamic Information Analysis
    JIF is a Static Information Flow Analysis system. It is a compiler which implements static information flow checking for a Java style information secure programming language. I studied both Static and Dynamic information flow analysis systems and suggested improvements in JIF to make it more dynamic in nature and easier for programmers to develop programs in the language.
