The 8thPrivacyEnhancing TechnologiesSymposium washeldat the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven during July 23-25,2008.This year completed the transition from workshop to symposium, with a printed proceedings published before the symposium. PETS remains a premier venue for publishing original research on privacy-enhancing technologies. PETS received 48 submissions, each of which wasreviewedbyatleastfourmembersoftheProgramCommittee.Thirteenwere accepted into the program, maintaining the selective and competitive nature of the event. The program also included a keynote address by Stuart Shapiro. A new feature this year was the HotPETs session, designed to balance the desire for rigorous scienti?c quality of the PETS program and the need for a venue to present work that is not yet fully developed. HotPETs accepted s- missions on the hottest, most exciting new ideas and put together an excellent program of presentations. PETS was once again collocated with the IAVoSS Workshop on Trustworthy Elections (WOTE 2008), with a full day of plenary sessions.
