Pairing-Based Cryptography -- Pairing 2013

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Pairing-Based Cryptography, Pairing 2013, held in Beijing, China, in November 2013. The 14 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions.
