A
HomePlug

when
two
or
more
HomePlug
devices
are
connected
over

Secure
the
Powerline
Network
The
HomePlug
AV
standard
uses
128
‐
bit
AES
(Advanced
Encryption
Standard)
to
safely
transmit
data
between
powerline
adapters.
For
the
powerline
adapters
to
communicate
with
each
other
they
all
need
to
use
the
same
Network
Membership
Key
(NMK).
Otherwise,
they
cannot
unscramble
the
encrypted
data
sent
in
the
powerline
network.
The
Security
button
allows
you
to
set
up
a
secure
powerline
connection
with
other
HomePlug
AV
compliant
powerline
devices
which
also
support
the
Security
feature.

with

to
the
same
powerline.
Users
want
to
use
