Secure Distributed Web Date; privacy, anonymity and Tor friendly; console time fetcher and daemon; optional graphical user interface etc. Website: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/sdwdate
Time keeping is crucial for security, privacy, and anonymity. Sdwdate is a Tor
friendly replacement for rdate and ntpdate that sets the system’s clock by
communicating via onion encrypted TCP with Tor onion webservers.
At randomized intervals, sdwdate connects to a variety of webservers and
extracts the time stamps from http headers (RFC 2616).
Using sclockadj option, time is gradually adjusted preventing bigger clock
jumps that could confuse logs, servers, Tor, i2p, etc.
This package contains the sdwdate time fetcher and daemon. No
installation on remote servers required. To avoid conflicts, this daemon
should not be enabled together with ntp or tlsdated.
