CTO’s Blog: Certichron’s ser­vices per­fect for Casino Operations!

Cer­tichron pro­vides com­mer­cial third-​​​​party time ver­i­fi­ca­tion ser­vices cal­i­brated by and to the US National Time Stan­dard by NIST. These are much more than a sim­ple GPS or NTP based time ser­vice most peo­ple are bet­ting the farm on now, they are a com­plete exter­nal time ser­vice which either bolts-​​​​on to exist­ing sys­tems or is inte­grated from design […]

CTO’s Blog: NGC says Gam­ing sys­tems need pre­ci­sion tim­ing resources

In today’s gam­bling ter­mi­nals and area con­trollers the time man­age­ment ser­vices need spe­cial atten­tion. Linux and other sys­tems In today’s gambl[ing ter­mi­nals and kiosks which run NTP natively are more eas­ily con­fig­ured but many of them only run SNTP mean­ing that they are not capa­ble of rea­son­able strength authen­ti­ca­tion in their time-​​setting process and as such the evi­dence value of the time set­ting event is questionable.
