You can get a security system which will only allow people on the list to enter your home. Otherwise it will eject people. You can find them on the marketplace or by searching for security systems in-world.

If you own  the land yourself (ie mainland or a private island) you can access the land information area at the top of your screen and disable public access. It will put ugly ban lines around your land for anyone not on the list, but allows you to keep out anyone but those you allow to enter your land. 

Good luck!

Just in case you have a Linden home:

You can place a security orb setting the distance sctricly within your 512 sqm parcel limits, without any red or yellow ban lines.

Hello uri2012. If you are the owner of the land (means you have access in "About Land" Window):

1. You create a group. It costs 100 L$ if you haven't already one.
2. You set the land to the group. In Viewer 3 is Menu World --> Place Profile --> About Land --> General tab --> Set --> Choose your own group.
3. You add your friends to your group.
4. By the last tab of the "About Land" called "Access" you restrict the access in your place. Uncheck public access and select "Allow group access". This way only members in your group are allowed to visit your house.
5. If you don't want even your friends to visit your house when you are offline, you uncheck also "Allow group access". However if you want to except someone you add him below in the "Allowed Residents" list.

If you are not the owner of the land and you just have a space to rezz your house, or you rent a house there, you can ask the owner of the land to put into your home a security orb, giving you the right to add/remove residents into its access list .

A couple of other points:

If you create a group for parcel access, make sure the group has at least two members at all times. The safest way to do this is to add one of your own alts as a second member, as soon as you create the group. Any group with only one member for more than 48 hours will get disbanded, and can't be revived.

Ban lines only work to 50 M above the terrain surface, for individuals not explicitly banned by name. So ban lines by themselves do nothing to protect skyboxes. This holds true for any sort of parcel-level access restrictions. If you ban an individual explicitly by name (such as a person who repeatedly harrasses you) that ban only works to 768 Meters altitude.

Scripted security devices have to be owned by the parcel owner, or deeded to the group that a parcel is actually deeded to, in order to actually ban and eject intruders. 

Scripted security devices can act on the parcel access restrictions at any altitude, to ban and eject any intruder within their scanning range. Usually this is a max 96 M radius, and should be set to stop all effects at the edges of the parcel, so you don't try to affect people on neighboring parcels. So to protect a skybox you put the security device in or close to the skybox. You would have to place several of them in an array of different altitudes to keep intruders out of your airspace entirely.

No matter what you do, there are still ways to defeat these security measures, or to appear to defeat them. There is no real privacy in SL, unless you control an entire sim that is not connected to any other sims, and at the sim level set the sim to no public access.

Set your parcel restrictions to disallow public access.  Put allowed residents in the appropriate list.

Big problem with the security orb method is that it's not always obvious what it's boundary is and adds server load unnecessarily. Better to find a parcel you can set permissions on.
