NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronises networks to a single time source using timestamps to represent the current time of the day, this is essential for time sensitive transactions and many system applications such as email.
NTP is therefore vulnerab...

Atomic Clocks have been around for over fifty years or so. They are clocks that use an atomic resonance frequency as its timekeeping element rather than conventional oscillating crystals such as quartz.
Most atomic clocks use the resonance of the atom ...
