Oct 11–14, 2026 · Lancaster, UK
The 29th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses.
Call for Papers
We invite submissions describing original research on all well-motivated computer security problems. Topics of interest include techniques for identifying new real-world threats, as well as methods to prevent, detect, mitigate, or assess the prevalence and impact of such threats. We particularly encourage measurement studies, papers that provide public access to new tools or datasets, and experience papers that clearly articulate important lessons learned.
Important Dates
Program Committee
We are looking for volunteers, and we are accepting nominations (self-nominations are welcome as well).

Submission Guidelines
Format Requirements
- Submissions must be a PDF file
- Springer format
- LNCS template
- 20 pages (excluding references)
- No page limits for appendices during submission. However, reviewers are not obligated to read appendices.
- There will be a total page limit for camera-ready
Get LNCS Template Submit Paper
Note: Reviewers are not required to read the appendices or any supplementary material. Authors should not change the font or the margins of the LNCS 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. Authors who are unsure whether their submissions might meet these guidelines, or who have specific questions about the guidelines, are welcome to contact the program committee chairs at raid26.pc.chairs@gmail.com.
Note: Papers raising significant ethical or legal concerns may be rejected based on these concerns alone.
Publication Details
Accepted papers will be:
- 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 Springer's Code of Conduct.
