Abstract
The time signal verification and distribution device disclosed herein verifies and distributes a time signal to consuming devices. The device determines a time quality status of a first and second time signal, calculates a difference between a first and a second time signal, and compares the difference to a predetermined threshold. Based on the time quality status and the comparison, the time signal verification and distribution device distributes a time signal to a plurality of time signal consuming devices. Exceeding the predetermined threshold may indicate a spoofing attack or other problem with the time signals.
