you have security software that comes with the homeplugs to protect your data, but how would you go about protecting your SACM from someone else that has a homeplug (as it is stated that the data MIGHT leak out of your home)

Do they have a unique code like a MAC address or something?
I can see its fine if you only want to network a few PC's together, but with the introduction of a cable modem, how would you protect this?

You use said software to set a private network ID which gets stored in the homeplugs themselves, unless someone knows this they cannot communicate with your network.
