How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2947872 — 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.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: applied cryptography
Context triple: [ACM Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society, field, applied cryptography]

A. foundations of cryptography
Foundations of Cryptography is a seminal two-volume work by Oded Goldreich that rigorously develops the theoretical underpinnings of modern cryptography, including definitions, proofs, and core primitives.
B. Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Elliptic Curve Cryptography is a public-key cryptographic approach that uses the mathematics of elliptic curves over finite fields to provide strong security with relatively small key sizes.
C. New Directions in Cryptography
New Directions in Cryptography is a landmark 1976 paper that introduced the concepts of public-key cryptography and digital signatures, fundamentally reshaping modern cryptography and secure communications.
D. Secrecy, Authentication, and Public Key Systems
"Secrecy, Authentication, and Public Key Systems" is Ralph Merkle's influential doctoral thesis that helped lay the foundations of modern public-key cryptography and secure communication protocols.
E. RSA Security
RSA Security is a pioneering American cybersecurity company best known for its contributions to public-key cryptography and secure data encryption technologies.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
