How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2114215 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: AES-CCM Context triple: [AES-CTR, relatedMode, AES-CCM]
-
A.
AES-GCM
AES-GCM is an authenticated encryption mode of the Advanced Encryption Standard that provides both data confidentiality and integrity, widely used in modern network and security protocols.
-
B.
AES‑CCMP
AES‑CCMP is a Wi‑Fi security protocol based on the AES block cipher that provides strong encryption and data integrity for modern WPA2 wireless networks.
-
C.
AES-Poly1305
AES-Poly1305 is an authenticated encryption scheme that pairs the AES block cipher with the Poly1305 message authentication code to provide both confidentiality and integrity.
-
D.
AES-CTR
AES-CTR is a widely used symmetric-key encryption mode that turns the AES block cipher into a fast, parallelizable stream cipher by encrypting successive counter values and XORing them with the plaintext.
-
E.
AES
AES is a home video game console released by SNK as the consumer version of its Neo Geo arcade system, known for its high-quality arcade-perfect games and premium price.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: AES-CCM Description of subject: AES-CCM is an authenticated encryption mode that combines Counter (CTR) mode for confidentiality with CBC-MAC for integrity and authentication, commonly used in wireless and embedded security protocols.
