Interesting talk on Chronos

I think our efforts would be much more productive helping to deploy NTS.

They are trying to protect against MitM attacks, but they assume that only 
some of the servers can be attacked.  That misses the important case where the 
bad guy can attack all your packets.

It depends on a large pool.  From a security standpoint, keeping the bad guys out of the pool is impossible.  (or at least an interesting research project, probably for lawyers rather than geeks)

They are reinventing the wheel.  What should you do with good samples?  That area of our code is incredibly complicated, but it has a long track record.  She said "average" without saying anything more.  Maybe the paper has more details.

We could start an interesting project on what to do with "good" samples.
