Bilinear groups of composite order are groups with an efficient bilinear map where the group order is a product of two large
primes. Such groups are constructed from pairing friendly curves over a finite field. Composite order bilinear groups were
recently used in a number of interesting cryptographic constructions. This talk will survey three applications:
