Description:
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.
