Pairing 2009, the Third International Conference on Pairing-Based Cryptog- phy, was held at Stanford University in Palo Alto during August 12–14, 2009. The conference was sponsored by Voltage Security and Microsoft Corporation. TerenceSpiesservedasGeneralChairoftheConferenceandwehadtheprivilege of serving as Program Co-chairs.

After careful deliberation, the committee chose 16 papers for the Pairing 2009 conference. Detailed reviews were given to the authors, and the authors were given three weeks to submit the ?nal version. These ?nal versions were not subject to external review and the authors bear full responsibility for their contents. We are delighted to have had three invited speakers for Pairing 2009. Victor Miller spoke on the origins of pairing-based cryptography. His talk was comp- mented by Tanja Lange's, who coveredthe evolution of the mathematics behind pairings and shared recent results. Finally, Amit Sahai spoke on his work (with Jens Groth and Ra? Ostrovksy) realizing non-interactive zero knowledge proofs from pairings. This work has been highly in?uential and multiple papers - cepted at this conference built upon it. In addition, there was a “Hot Topics” session at this conference where we asked several researchers to give 10-minute presentations of recent results.
