Phone Locks and Security Tutorial

Introduction

The RMobilePhone fucntions allows clients to:

• get the security and lock capabilities of the phone

• get the status of phone locks

• be notified of security events

• enter and change security codes

• change the setting of a lock

Capabilities

The supported locks can be different in different modes:

• in GSM, there are two locks associated with the SIM application, that is PIN1 and PIN2. The PIN1 can be enabled or disabled

• in CDMA, a R-UIM (ICC card) has a PIN1 lock, but not all CDMA phones have a R-UIM. A Number Assignment Module lock is specific to CDMA networks.

• in a multimode phone, the phone determines its ICC access policy. For example whether a GSM SIM can be accessed while the phone is in a CDMA mode.

To dynamically get the lock and security capabilities from the TSY for the current mode, call RMobilePhone::GetSecurityCaps().

Results

The function must return a bitmask of an RMobilePhone::TMobilePhoneSecurityCaps flag
