Network Time Security

Network Time Security (NTS) is a way to ensure that the time information received over computer networks is accurate and trustworthy. It protects against attackers who might try to send false time data, which could disrupt systems relying on precise timing, such as financial transactions or communications. NTS uses secure protocols and encryption to verify that the time source is genuine and hasn't been tampered with, ensuring synchronized systems operate correctly and securely. Essentially, it helps maintain reliable, tamper-proof clocks across networked devices.
