-
A.
DNS Security (DNSSEC) Hashed Authenticated Denial of Existence
DNS Security (DNSSEC) Hashed Authenticated Denial of Existence is a DNSSEC extension that uses cryptographic hashing to provide verifiable, secure proof that a requested DNS name or type does not exist without revealing the full contents of a zone.
-
B.
Protocol Modifications for the DNS Security Extensions
"Protocol Modifications for the DNS Security Extensions" is an IETF standards-track document (RFC 4035) that specifies how DNSSEC is operationally implemented and processed by DNS resolvers and authoritative servers.
-
C.
Use of SHA-2 Algorithms with RSA in DNSKEY and RRSIG Resource Records for DNSSEC
"Use of SHA-2 Algorithms with RSA in DNSKEY and RRSIG Resource Records for DNSSEC" (RFC 5702) is an IETF standards-track document that specifies how to employ SHA-2 hash algorithms with RSA signatures in DNSSEC to enhance the security of DNS authentication.
-
D.
DNSSEC root key signing ceremony
The DNSSEC root key signing ceremony is a highly controlled, regularly scheduled cryptographic event where trusted personnel generate and manage the root cryptographic keys that secure the global Domain Name System.
-
E.
DNSSEC
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a suite of specifications that adds cryptographic authentication and integrity protection to DNS data to prevent attacks such as cache poisoning and spoofing.
- 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
