How can secure time synchronization improve IoT device trust?

Secure time synchronization improves trust and reliability among IoT devices in a network by ensuring that all devices have a common reference point for time. By synchronizing their clocks securely, IoT devices can coordinate actions, events, and data accurately, leading to better communication and interoperability. This synchronization helps in timestamping data accurately, detecting cyber attacks or anomalies based on the sequence of events, and enabling secure communication protocols that rely on time-sensitive information. Overall, secure time synchronization enhances the overall efficiency, security, and reliability of IoT networks.
