NTP Authentication
NTP authentication is intended to overcome any security risks associated with the Network Time Protocol. Authentication allows a NTP client to ascertain that a response to a request for time has actually come from the expected NTP server. A client can authenticate a server to ensure that no one has maliciously intercepted the communication between the client and server. .... more>>

NTP on LINUX
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard protocol for synchronising time on computers and network equipment. NTP allows client computers to synchronise time with a NTP server over an Internet or Intranet network. The NTP protocol was originally developed for the Linux operating system. The standard NTP distribution is a freely downloadable application supplied under the GNU public licence. This article attempts to simplify the installation and configuration of the Linux NTP server application. It describes a simple NTP installation and goes through step-by-step the configuration procedure required to provide a NTP server on a Linux machine....more>>

Reference Clocks
A number of external hardware reference clocks are available to synchronise NTP servers. One of the most common is the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS provides a highly accurate source of time, typically to a few hundred nanoseconds. GPS has the advantage that a good signal can be obtained anywhere in the world. All that is required is a GPS receiver and antenna...more>>

What is NTP?
NTP stands for Network Time Protocol. It is used throughout the internet as a standard means of achieving and maintaining the synchronization of computers and network infrastructure. This article attempts to describe, clearly and simply, what NTP is and why a time server is an essential part of a modern computer network.....
