Well to be perfectly correct, it does not use encryption in operation except for the generation of keys (ntpgen), but it does do authentication in operation as well as using MD5 for packet validation. > If one builds NTP where it can see the OpenSSL libraries, ntp will get > encryption stuff from OpenSSL. > NTP does use the OpenSSL libraries if the option is requested during the configuration and subsequent build process and therefore needs the OpenSSL libraries which themselves have encryption algorithms and the API's to call them. In the case of Windows, NTP is always built with it (though that could be turned off) and the OpenSSL DLL is included with the binaries. > Does that help? > > Anybody disagree with what I have written? > See above. > H > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
