How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19494506 — 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.
Public-Key Cryptography Standards #7
Public-Key Cryptography Standards #7 (PKCS #7) is a widely used cryptographic standard that defines a general syntax for digitally signing and encrypting data, forming the basis for formats like S/MIME.
-
B.
Public-Key Cryptography Standards #8
Public-Key Cryptography Standards #8 (PKCS #8) is a widely used cryptographic standard that defines a syntax for storing and transferring private keys in a secure, interoperable format.
-
C.
IEEE P1363
IEEE P1363 is a public-key cryptography standard developed by the IEEE that specifies a suite of asymmetric algorithms, including those based on elliptic curves, for encryption, digital signatures, and key agreement.
-
D.
NIST cryptographic standards framework
The NIST cryptographic standards framework is a comprehensive set of guidelines and specifications developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to ensure secure, interoperable, and reliable cryptographic mechanisms for federal and industry use.
-
