A SecureDeviceAssociation is a security and network quality relationship established between two devices for socket-based communication.
An Xbox Secure Device Association (SecureDeviceAssociation) object represents a logical connection between two Xbox LIVE authenticated consoles, or between a console and a server. This connection provides a secure virtual channel for socket-based communication using configurable network quality-of-service parameters. More than one socket can simultaneously leverage the same SecureDeviceAssociation for traffic between the two nodes if the SecureDeviceAssociationTemplate Class allowed dynamic port selection. Two nodes may also have more than one SecureDeviceAssociation established simultaneously for different security or quality parameters.
Xbox Secure Device Associations are bi-directional, unicast concepts. They allow traffic to be sent securely by either device in the pair. They are unable to represent a logical association between a device and an IP-level broadcast or multicast address.
