NTP authentication is a method used to ensure that authenticated peers are actually communicating with the NTP server they expect. It is a security measure designed to protect against man–in–the–middle attacks, where an attacker could intercept and manipulate the interaction between two parties. NTP authentication works by using public key encryption and an authentication key generated by the NTP server.
