How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T7928173 — 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: UTA (Using TLS in Applications) Context triple: [RFC 8314, workingGroup, UTA (Using TLS in Applications)]
-
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 ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for Timor-Leste (East Timor), a Southeast Asian nation on the eastern half of Timor Island.
-
C.
TLS
TLS is the IATA airport code for Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, the main international airport serving Toulouse in southwestern France.
-
D.
Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
"Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)" is an IETF standard (RFC 7919) that defines secure, standardized finite-field Diffie-Hellman parameter sets for use in TLS to improve cryptographic security and interoperability.
-
E.
RFC 7465 (prohibition in TLS)
RFC 7465 is an Internet standards document that formally prohibits the use of the RC4 stream cipher in Transport Layer Security (TLS) due to its significant cryptographic weaknesses.
- 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: UTA (Using TLS in Applications) Description of subject: UTA (Using TLS in Applications) is an IETF working group focused on defining best practices and standards for the secure use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) in application protocols.
