How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1635089 — 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.

Context triple: [NIST SP 800-56A, partOfSeries, NIST SP 800 series]

A. Federal Information Processing Standards
Federal Information Processing Standards are publicly announced, U.S. government–wide standards that define requirements for information security, data formats, and interoperability in federal computer systems.
B. NIST SP 800-56A
NIST SP 800-56A is a NIST Special Publication that specifies approved methods for public-key establishment, including Diffie–Hellman–based key agreement schemes, for use in U.S. federal cryptographic systems.
C. NIST SP 800-38D
NIST SP 800-38D is a NIST special publication that specifies the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) of operation for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and provides guidelines for its secure use.
D. ISO/IEC 27000 family
The ISO/IEC 27000 family is an international set of standards that provides best-practice frameworks and requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving information security management systems.
E. NIST Interagency/Internal Reports
NIST Interagency/Internal Reports are technical and research publications produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to document and disseminate detailed findings, methodologies, and guidance for use by government agencies, industry, and the research community.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
