Abstract:
In this talk, I will provide an overview on how clocks are currently synchronized over networks. Time synchronization is important for many applications, from TLS certificate validation to coordinated movements of robots. Different protocols offer different trade-offs in this domain. I will cover which protocols are available, which trade-offs they make in terms of accuracy and security and how you can use them.
