Accurate time is essential for the security and trustworthiness of the Internet.
Many systems that we regularly interact with rely on accurate time to function properly. Financial transactions, transportation, electricity and industrial production processes are just a few of these things. Accurate time also provides an essential foundation for online security, and many security mechanisms, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) and digital signature creation and verification, depend on accurate timekeeping.
About this site
networktimesecurity.org is a collaborative initiative to support the work on the network time security protocol (NTS), to facilitate NTS hackathons and test events, and to act as a repository for documentation, Best Common Practice (BCP) documents, implementation guidelines and the latest network time security news and developments.
To participate in the ongoing development of these protocols, please join the email list for the IETF NTP Working Group.
