Well,the owner may not want to update secret key just to change her/his 
ip with time passing, 
updating secret key frequently is bothersome.
An optional date/time can add more flexibility, if the owner wishes to 
obtain a constant IP, the date/time can be ignored,
if the owner wants to change IP once a year, the date/time can be chosen 
the year,......
