Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself to the list. My name is Erich Heine, I'm a researcher at the University of Illinois. I am a programmer attached to a couple of projects, but the one relevant here is called TCIP (Trustworthy Cyber-Infrastructure for the Power Grid - url: tcipg.org). Our group does computer security research relevant the the US power grid infrastructure (and when relevant to all power delivery :) ). Recently we've had researchers looking at GPS spoofing, and are beginning to examine secure time synchronization more broadly. It's fascinating to discover just how much havoc can be caused by assuming the time signal is good enough when it may not be. (This seems to be the way of computer security - assume something is good or good enough, then someone comes along an breaks everything because the assumption was bad. Then everyone scrambles to get better solutions, and other areas become assumed "good enough". Repeat ad-nauseam). I was pointed here by Magnus a month or two ago, after a fascinating discussion of just how deep this time and timing rabbit-hole goes. I'm quite impressed with this community - both in terms of deep knowledge and overall friendliness. It's been a pleasure just lurking and soaking up some knowledge since then. Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hi all" before I start posting questions, comments, etc. :) Regards, Erich _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
