Abstract
A storage network operates by: encoding a data segment into a set of encoded data slices, wherein a read threshold of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices is required to decode the data segment, wherein the read threshold has a value greater than one, and wherein the data segment has an associated security level; selecting a subset of the plurality of storage units based on the security level, wherein the subset includes at least the read threshold of storage units of the plurality of storage units, wherein each of the subset of the plurality of storage units has a connection security approach that corresponds to the security level; and communicating the set of encoded data slices to the subset of the plurality of storage units in accordance with the connection security approach associated with each of the subset of the plurality of storage units.
