Call for Papers

We are soliciting research papers on topics covering all well-motivated computer security problems. We care about techniques that identify new real-world threats, techniques to prevent them, to detect them, to mitigate them or to assess their prevalence and their consequences. Measurement papers are encouraged, as well as papers offering public access to new tools or datasets, or experience papers that clearly articulate important lessons learned

Topics of Interest

RAID solicits submissions on all aspects of computer security, including but not limited to:

  • Intrusion detection and prevention
  • IoT security
  • Machine learning for security
  • Malware and unwanted software
  • Mobile security and privacy
  • Network security
  • Program analysis and reverse engineering
  • Security education and training
  • Security measurement studies
  • Security of machine learning systems
  • Software security
  • Systems security
  • Statistical and adversarial learning
  • Usable security and privacy
  • Vulnerability analysis and exploitation
  • Web security and privacy

Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, correctness, and clarity. We expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable the reproducibility of their experimental results. We encourage authors to make both the tools and data publicly available.

More information is available at https://raid2026.sptagelab.org.

Submission Guidelines

We are looking for volunteers, and we are accepting nominations (self-nominations are welcome as well). If interested, please fill this form: TBD Link.

Format Requirements

  • Submissions must be a PDF file
  • IEEE 8.5″ × 11″ two-column format
  • 10pt fonts, IEEE Conference template
  • Maximum 12 pages (excluding references)

Note: Reviewers are not required to read the appendices or any supplementary material. Authors should not change the font or the margins of the IEEE format. Submissions not following the required format may be rejected without review.

Review Process

  • Double-blind peer review
  • At least three reviewers per paper
  • Papers must be properly anonymized
  • No major/minor revision rounds
  • Must be original work, not duplicate submissions
  • Authors may give talks, post preprints, or disclose vulnerabilities during review.

Anonymization: Papers must be properly anonymized—author names/affiliations must not appear, refer to your own prior work in third person, avoid titles matching public technical reports, and anonymize bibliographies appropriately. Papers not properly anonymized may be rejected without review.

Originality: Submissions must not substantially duplicate published work or be submitted in parallel to other venues with proceedings. Simultaneous submission, previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty.

Ethical Considerations

Submissions involving human subjects, human-derived data (even anonymized), or that may put humans at risk should:

  • Disclose IRB approval or waiver from institutional ethics boards
  • Discuss ethical treatment of participants and affected parties
  • Detail vulnerability disclosure plans (e.g., vendor notification)
  • Explain handling procedures for PII and sensitive data

If your submission deals with vulnerabilities (e.g., software vulnerabilities or hardware design weaknesses), you must discuss in detail the steps already taken or planned to address them, such as coordinated disclosure to vendors.

The same applies for submissions dealing with personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive data—explain your data handling and protection procedures.

Note: Papers raising significant ethical or legal concerns may be rejected based on these concerns alone.

Publication Details

Accepted papers will be:

  • Published by IEEE CPS
  • Submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library
  • Presented at RAID 2026 by at least one author
  • Subject to full author registration requirement

Registration Policy: Each accepted paper requires at least one full author registration. For papers sharing authors, a separate author registration is required for each paper.

No-Show Policy: Papers not presented at the conference will be reported to the publisher and removed from the proceedings.

Ethics: Authors must adhere to IEEE Code of Ethics and IEEE Submission Policies.
