How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T5768132 — 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: TLS-over-TCP Context triple: [Interactive Connectivity Establishment, supportsProtocol, TLS-over-TCP]
-
A.
TLS
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data transmitted over networks by providing encryption, authentication, and integrity between communicating applications.
-
B.
TLS
TLS is the IATA airport code for Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, the main international airport serving Toulouse in southwestern France.
-
C.
IPsec over TCP
IPsec over TCP is a method of encapsulating IPsec traffic within TCP packets to traverse restrictive firewalls and NAT devices that block traditional IPsec protocols.
-
D.
TLS 1.2
TLS 1.2 is a widely deployed version of the Transport Layer Security protocol that provides encrypted and authenticated communication over computer networks.
-
E.
ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation)
ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) is a TLS extension that allows clients and servers to agree on which application-layer protocol (such as HTTP/2 or SPDY) to use over a secure connection during the TLS handshake.
- 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: TLS-over-TCP Description of subject: TLS-over-TCP is a secure communication method that encrypts data using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol on top of the reliable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
