Security Levels of Connection Types

4/8/2010

Different connections have different security levels, as shown in the following table.

Connection type Security level

DTPT

Level 1 (most secure)

NIC

Level 10

Wi-Fi

Level 10

CSD

Level 100

GPRS

Level 100

1xRTT

Level 100 (least secure)

If an application requests a secure connection and there is no active connection that is more secure, Connection Manager makes the connection and disables all other connections with lower security level. If the application requests a secure connection and there is an active connection with a higher security level, Connection Manager does not make the requested secure connection, and returns the status code CONNMGR_STATUS_EXCLUSIVECONFLICT.
