How secure the network should be.

If a potential problem with the security of the network connection is found, the user is asked to give input into how the connection should be handled.

The following values are possible:

low: No checks are performed: This is extremely insecure. medium: Default. Suitable for most circumstances. high: Warns about additional issues not enabled in medium due to compatibility concerns. paranoid: On this level, the user is queried for most new connections.

See the Emacs manual for a description of all things that are checked and warned against.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 25.1.
