| Abstract | This work describes a concept for extending the Network Time Security (NTS) protocol to enable implementation- independent communication between the NTS key establishment (NTS-KE) server and the connected time server(s). It Alls a specification gap left by RFC 8915 for securing the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and enables the centralized and public deployment of an NTS key management server that can support both secured NTP and secured PTP. |
