How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2114215 — 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.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: AES-CCM
Context triple: [AES-CTR, relatedMode, AES-CCM]

A. AES-GCM
AES-GCM is an authenticated encryption mode of the Advanced Encryption Standard that provides both data confidentiality and integrity, widely used in modern network and security protocols.
B. AES‑CCMP
AES‑CCMP is a Wi‑Fi security protocol based on the AES block cipher that provides strong encryption and data integrity for modern WPA2 wireless networks.
C. AES-Poly1305
AES-Poly1305 is an authenticated encryption scheme that pairs the AES block cipher with the Poly1305 message authentication code to provide both confidentiality and integrity.
D. AES-CTR
AES-CTR is a widely used symmetric-key encryption mode that turns the AES block cipher into a fast, parallelizable stream cipher by encrypting successive counter values and XORing them with the plaintext.
E. AES
AES is a home video game console released by SNK as the consumer version of its Neo Geo arcade system, known for its high-quality arcade-perfect games and premium price.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
