Protocols and time transfer

NTSNTS

NTS (Network Time Security, RFC 8915) adds cryptographic authentication to NTP, so a client can be sure the time comes from the real server and not from an attacker. It builds on TLS for the key exchange.

NTS protects against spoofing of time without degrading NTP's accuracy and replaces the older, vulnerable authentication methods.
