!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the process that attempts to ensure all systems within a [Domain] have the same [Time]
Two primary [Operating System] [{$pagename}] [Services]:
* [Network Time Protocol] ([NTP])
* [Windows Time service]
* [Roughtime]
* [Network Time Security] ([NTS])
[{$pagename}] is essential to [Internet] [security] as many security [protocols] and other applications require [{$pagename}] [MCBG] ([RFC 7384]). Unfortunately widely deployed protocols such as the [Network Time Protocol] ([NTP]) ([RFC 5905]) lack essential [Security Considerations], and even newer [protocols] like [Network Time Security] ([NTS]) [I-D.ietf-ntp-using-nts-for-ntp] fail to ensure that the [servers] behave correctly. [Authenticated] time servers prevents network adversaries from modifying time packets. An [authenticated] time server still has full control over the contents of time packet and may go rogue.
[Roughtime] [protocol] provides [cryptographic proof] of malfeasance, enabling clients to detect and prove to a [Third-party] [server]'s attempts to influence the time a client computes.
