How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T63808 — 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: SSL 3.0 Context triple: [TLS, basedOn, SSL 3.0]
-
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.
Wired Equivalent Privacy
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an early and now largely obsolete Wi‑Fi security protocol known for its weak encryption and significant vulnerabilities.
-
C.
Internet Protocol version 6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the modern Internet addressing and routing protocol designed to replace IPv4 by providing a vastly larger address space and improved network efficiency and security features.
-
D.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP is the fundamental communication protocol suite that enables data transmission and networking across the internet and most modern computer networks.
-
E.
SSH
SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used to securely access, manage, and transfer data between remote computers over unsecured networks.
- 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: SSL 3.0 Description of subject: SSL 3.0 is an obsolete cryptographic protocol that once secured internet communications and served as the foundation for the early versions of TLS.
