Network Time Security (NTS)

Network Time Security (NTS) is a protocol that ensures the accuracy and integrity of time data transmitted over the internet. It enhances traditional time synchronization methods by detecting and preventing tampering or errors, assuring that devices and systems receive trustworthy time information. This is vital for security, coordination, and compliance across networks. NTS uses cryptographic techniques to verify that the time received is genuine and unaltered, helping organizations maintain precise and secure timekeeping essential for activities like financial transactions, communications, and system logging.
