Security Levels of Connection Types
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.
