Some people are interested to use authenticated NTP for their linux distributions. [1] [2]
Obviously an identity scheme, where NTP server has its own private and public key and all users need to have the the NTP public keys is required. Typical private/public key scheme, just like gpg. Anything else can not work if the wide public is supposed to verify the NTP replies. Please just assume there are people who like to provide a NTP servers, which support authentication. Can you create instructions please on how to host such an authenticated NTP server? If we have an authenticated NTP public server guide I am sure over time there will be enough authenticated NTP servers.
