NTS is now an RFC
On October 1st, 2020, Network Time Security (NTS) officially became RFC 8915, marking its inclusion in the collection of protocols that make the Internet work. NTS is designed to secure a ubiquitous Internet protocol and has been implemented by time service providers like Cloudflare. The adoption of NTS is vital for ensuring accurate authentication of NTP servers and protecting against attacks that imitate them. With the support of NTS in operating systems and TLS 1.3, internet security can be significantly improved.
