143 The purpose of this document is to specify home network security requirements that may
144 come from inside or outside a home and particularly to serve as a foundation for the
145 development of security services against threats affecting the home environment.
146 The discussions about security requirements in this document are presented in a relatively
147 informal manner. Although many of the items discussed here are expected to guide the design
148 of security mechanisms applied either inside home networks or through the Internet, these are
149 not considered formal requirements.
