Time Server – security and legal protection

Dedicated time servers are used throughout the world to ensure computer networks are synchronised. Not only does a synchronised network offer more security but synchronisation using a dedicated time server can offer legal protection.

Because dedicated time servers use such a secure and reliable method of keeping time (atomic clock signals from either the GPS network or radio broadcasts) the time can be legally audited to few milliseconds. However, networks synchronised using an Internet timing source can not be audited and this can leave these systems open to abuse or even fraud.

Dedicated time servers are also based behind a firewall ensuring the system is protected from any intrusion while an internet based timing source has to have access through the firewall through an open port.

Any company that requires security in its network or protection from fraud must ensure they are using either a  GPS or radio referenced time server.
