+ <p>This interface exists to expose security information about
+ <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT">Channel</tp:dbus-ref>s. The two
+ properties are sometimes immutable and can be used to make
+ decisions on how cautious to be about transferring sensitive
+ data. The special case of <tp:dbus-ref
+ namespace="ofdT.Channel.Type">ServerAuthentication</tp:dbus-ref>
+ channels is one example of where the two properties are
+ immutable.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, clients MAY use these properties to decide
+ whether the <code>PLAIN</code> mechanism is acceptable for a
+ <tp:dbus-ref
+ namespace="ofdT.Channel.Interface">SASLAuthentication</tp:dbus-ref>
+ channel.</p>
