NTP Security: Authentication and Trusted Time References

NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronises networks to a single time source using timestamps to represent the current time of the day, this is essential for time sensitive transactions and many system applications such as email. NTP is therefore vulnerab... Read >

Using Atomic Clocks as External NTP Timing References

Atomic Clocks have been around for over fifty years or so. They are clocks that use an atomic resonance frequency as its timekeeping element rather than conventional oscillating crystals such as quartz. Most atomic clocks use the resonance of the atom ... Read >

Choosing GPS or MSF as a Timing Reference for NTP Servers

All PC's and networking devices use clocks to maintain an internal system time. These clocks, called Real Time Clock chips (RTC), provide time and date information. They are battery backed so that even during power outages, they can maintain time. However... Read >
