Abstract
A secure network is disclosed. The secure network includes a residential gateway to communicate with a remote network and a local network. At least one trusted local device is configured to send communications including data packets with authentication information to the residential gateway to request access to resources of the remote network. The residential gateway inhibits a request received from the local network to access resources on the remote network until the residential gateway uses authentication information to authenticate data packets associated with the request as originating from the at least one trusted local device.
