I know there has been interest previously in hearing about NTP-sec. I

Subject: [PLUG] Possible talk on NTPsec?

It's been many years since I gave a PLUG talk. Now I have a topic I'd
like to raise awareness of.

I've spent the last 18 months leading a project called NTPsec, a
massive cleanup and refactoring of the Internet time-service daemon
code intended among other things to seriously improve security; the
reference implementation we forked from is notoriously vulnerable to use
as a DDoS amplifier.

The story of NTPsec has some useful lessons about writing
low-defect-rate code, reduction of attack surface as a security
strategy, and the underappreciated impact of Unix API standardization.

The project is at https://www.ntpsec.org/

Later,
JP
