• [$] An effort to secure the Network Time Protocol

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu Feb 26 06:40:08 2026

    The Network Time
    Protocol (NTP) debuted in 1985; it is a universally used, open
    specification that is deeply important for all sorts of activities we
    take for granted. It also, despite a number of efforts, remains
    stubbornly unsecured. Ruben Nijveld presented work at FOSDEM 2026 to
    speed adoption of the thus-far largely ignored standard for securing
    NTP traffic: IETF's RFC-8915 that specifies Network Time
    Security (NTS) for NTP.
