#### Instance methods

###### e_source_security_dup_method

Thread-safe variation of e_source_security_get_method(). Use this function when accessing `extension` from multiple threads.

since: 3.6

###### e_source_security_get_method

Returns the method used to establish a secure network connection to a remote account. There are no pre-defined method names; backends are free to set this however they wish. If a secure connection is not desired, the convention is to set `ESourceSecurity:method` to “none”.

since: 3.6

###### e_source_security_get_secure

This is a convenience function which returns whether a secure network connection is desired, regardless of the method used. This relies on the convention of setting `ESourceSecurity:method` to “none” when a secure network connection is not desired.

since: 3.6

###### e_source_security_set_method

Sets the method used to establish a secure network connection to a remote account. There are no pre-defined method names; backends are free to set this however they wish. If a secure connection is not desired, the convention is to set `ESourceSecurity:method` to “none”. In keeping with that convention, `ESourceSecurity:method` will be set to “none” if `method` is `NULL` or an empty string.

since: 3.6

###### e_source_security_set_secure

This function provides a simpler way to set `ESourceSecurity:method` when using a secure network connection is a yes or no option and the exact method name is unimportant. If `secure` is `FALSE`, the `ESourceSecurity:method` property is set to “none”. If `secure` is `TRUE`, the function assumes the backend will use Transport Layer Security and sets the `ESourceSecurity:method` property to “tls”.

Releases a property lock, previously acquired with e_source_extension_property_lock(), thus other threads can change properties of the `extension`.
