Time Protection in Depth at Every Level with TimeKeeper The TimeKeeper suite of hardware and software products create a time network that offers highly accurate synchronization, with error-checking, validation, protection and mitigation of time, and the ability to manage and audit the time network. In-depth time protection against GPS/GNSS, NTP/PTP and other network/machine-related vulnerabilities for…
2020 WSTS Covid 19 Presentation Timing in the Face of COVID-19: A Look at Financial Market Impacts presentation by Victor Yodaiken at virtual 2020 WSTS on May 13, 2020. The graph above shows a solid NTP internet clock source (blue) versus a precise GPS source (green). The GPS source locks system time to within a few tens of…
A 2014 paper by engineers at IMC, NYSE, and Deutsche-Boerse spotlights single point of failures in IEEE 1588 PTP. Read More >
Summary: 1. TimeKeeper synchronized clocks can be accurate to within 100 nanoseconds using either Network Time Protocol (NTP) or 1EEE 1588 Precise Time Protocol (PTP). 2. Most non-TimeKeeper implementations of NTP (such as NTPd or Chrony) are usually no better than 1millisecond in accuracy – this includes many GPS based NTP network clocks. 3. There…
