Hi,

I was wondering what most folks use for NTP security?

Do they use the low cost, light weight symmetric key cryptographic
protection method using MD5 or do folks go in for full digital
signatures and X.509 certificates (AutoKey Security)?


I'm just wondering -- in globak scheme of security issue, is NTP
security a major issue?

Just curious.
