• No major/minor revision options are allowed.
• Anonymization is required:
  • Do not include author names or affiliations.
  • Refer to your own prior work in the third person.
  • Avoid titles that correspond to publicly available technical reports.
  • Anonymize the bibliographic section appropriately.
• Papers that are not properly anonymized may be rejected without review.
• Authors may choose to disclose information about their work during the review process (e.g., talks, preprints, vulnerability disclosures).
• For questions regarding anonymity or ethical considerations, contact the program committee chairs at raid25.pc.chairs@gmail.com.

Human Subjects and Ethical Considerations

Submissions involving experiments on human subjects, analysis of data derived from human subjects, or that may put humans at risk should:

• Disclose ethics review board approval (e.g., IRB).
• Discuss steps taken to ensure ethical treatment of participants.
• If dealing with vulnerabilities, disclose steps taken to address them (e.g., vendor disclosure).
• If dealing with personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive data, discuss data handling procedures.
• Submissions raising significant ethical and legal concerns may be rejected.

Proceedings

• Accepted papers will be presented at RAID 2025 and published in conference proceedings by Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
• Papers will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
• At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the conference to present it.
• Full author registration is required for each accepted paper. No-show papers will be removed from the proceedings.
• Authors must adhere to IEEE ethical and professional standards, including IEEE Submission Policies.
