After more than a year of development, the release of the NTPsec time synchronization server 1.2.4 has been published. The project was created as a fork of the reference implementation of the NTPv4 protocol (NTP Classic 4.3.34), focused on restructuring the codebase to enhance security. The NTPsec source code is distributed under BSD, MIT, and NTP licenses. <\/p>\n

NTPsec is developed under the guidance of Eric Raymond with the involvement of some developers from the original NTP Classic, engineers from Hewlett Packard and Akamai Technologies, as well as the GPSD and RTEMS projects. Key differences from NTP Classic include the addition of support for the NTS (Network Time Security) protocol, a reduction in the codebase size by more than half (removing outdated features and unnecessary platforms), implementation of an offline mode, use of attack prevention methods (such as system call filtering), and a shift to secure functions for memory and string handling. <\/p>\n
