    While TLS may be needed over some networks, there are private or
home networks, where it wouldn't be needed.

    Why can't the networks be graded as private, corporate or public
so rules can be applied as needed for the specific security situation?

    This has worked for years on MS networks, so certainly it
should be good enough for linux.
