Security Levels of Connection Types
4/8/2010
Different connections have different security levels, as shown in the following table.
| Connection type | Security level |
|---|---|

Level 1 (most secure) |

Level 10 |

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.
