[comp.protocols.kerberos] secure time synchronization

NESSETT@CCC.MFECC.LLNL.GOV (05/18/89)

Dave,

To solve the secure time synchronization problem, you will need more than an
authenticated time service.  It must not be possible to replay synchronization
messages thereby setting a local clock back by an arbitrary amount. Perhaps
the protocol you use prevents this.  We found that designing a secure
time synchronization protocol to be equivalent to designing a secure
connection protocol.
