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.
