Just a quick update from last week that I didn’t say from the mic during the saag meeting… 

The NTP working group meet on Wednesday 18 July. Below are some security related items from that working group. 

The following documents have been submitted for publication
MAC for NTP — https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ntp-mac/
NTP BCP — https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ntp-bcp/

The primary security work item for the NTP WG continues to work on Network Time Security (NTS). A small team distributed across Montreal, Sweden, and Germany worked during the hackathon to advance implementations of NTS and to do some basic interop testing. The NTS discussion during the working group meeting primarily involved addressing the changes suggested by https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dansarie-nts/ to the core NTS specification
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ntp-using-nts-for-ntp/

As always, the more security eyes the better if any of you kind folks have spare cycles (perhaps wait for draft -13 to incorporate the changes from the dansarie draft)
