Hi all,
My requirement is to use SNTP. I am trying to synchronize time between
a linux based system as sntp client and windows 2000 SNTP server. I
notice that time is getting synchronized. I am not sure whether the
packets are secured. Can anybody please tell me whethere the packets
are secure by default ? If not, how to add security for these packets ?
Could you please guide me ?
Regards,
Sandy
I don't believe that SNTP supports cryptographic authentication. For
that, you would need to use ntpd on both ends.
The only "security" that ntpd provides is the ability to
cryptographically "sign" NTP packets and to validate those signatures.
