This memo specifies Network Time Security (NTS), a mechanism for
using Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Authenticated Encryption
with Associated Data (AEAD) to provide cryptographic security for the
client-server mode of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). 

NTS is structured as a suite of two loosely coupled sub-protocols.
The first (NTS Key Establishment (NTS-KE)) handles initial
authentication and key establishment over TLS. The second (NTS
Extension Fields for NTPv4) handles encryption and authentication
during NTP time synchronization via extension fields in the NTP
packets, and holds all required state only on the client via opaque
cookies.

This document is a product of the Network Time Protocol Working Group of the 
IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
