As documented, we can not accept anonymous contributions to the kernel,
so perhaps just wait until your paper is accepted? However, we take
patches from researchers all the time under their real names while their
papers are being reviewed, so this "requirement" seems odd to me, who is
requiring this?

security@...nel.org is for fixing bugs reported to them that are not
public, it is not for any sort of "notification of affiliation". See
the documentation for the details about what this alias is to be used
for please.

That would be best, as obviously, and again, as documented, we can not
accept anonymous contributions to the kernel.
