How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T11033200 — 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.

-
A.
The Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol
The Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol is the core low-level component of SSH that provides secure, encrypted, and integrity-protected communication over an insecure network, forming the foundation for higher-level SSH services.
-
B.
The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication Protocol
The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication Protocol is a standardized network protocol that defines methods for securely authenticating users and hosts in SSH connections using mechanisms such as passwords, public keys, and keyboard-interactive methods.
-
C.
The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Assigned Numbers
"The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Assigned Numbers" is an IETF RFC that catalogs and standardizes the numeric identifiers and registries used by the SSH protocol for its various message types, algorithms, and parameters.
-
D.
SHA-2 Data Integrity Verification for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol
"SHA-2 Data Integrity Verification for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol" is an IETF specification that updates SSH to use SHA-2-based message authentication codes to improve data integrity and security over the transport layer.
-
E.
PPP over Secure Shell (SSH)
PPP over Secure Shell (SSH) is an IETF-defined method for encapsulating the Point-to-Point Protocol within SSH sessions to provide secure, encrypted tunneling for network traffic.
- 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: The Secure Shell (SSH) Connection Protocol Description of subject: The Secure Shell (SSH) Connection Protocol is a core component of SSH that multiplexes multiple logical channels over a single encrypted transport, enabling secure interactive sessions, port forwarding, and other services between networked hosts.
