Issue
The existing clock discipline algorithm in the coreSNTP demo yields an inaccurate wall-clock time (in UTC) that is always behind the astronomical UTC time by the chosen polling interval period of the demo. The issue with the clock discipline algorithm was that it was calculating the slew rate to make the system clock be gradually compensated for the previous time synchronization clock drift over the period of the subsequent polling time interval. Thereby, the clock slew rate correction calculated is always lower than it should be (because it does not incorporate possible clock drift that would occur over another period of time polling interval till the next time synchronization attempt).
Fix
This PR fixes the clock discipline algorithm to make the demo calculate its system time that matches the astronomical UTC time.
The fix involves simplifying the clock discipline algorithm to use a combination of step and slew correction approaches where:
1. Step correction is applied on EVERY time successful synchronization with a time server. This immediately corrects the system time to match server time.
2. Slew rate is calculated ONCE (on the second successful time synchronization with server) and applied henceforth, on every time polling interval period to compensate gradually for the system clock drift during the period.
This PR makes the following changes in the coreSNTP demo:
To suggest the most secure way of using SNTP communication, we are adding a documentation note about the Network Time Security in the SNTP demo.
Hygiene update of using the FreeRTOS/backoffAlgorithm utility library for calculating time polling period interval backoff when time requests are rejected by a time server.
Issue
There is a possible vulnerability of Denial of Service attack by keeping the UDP socket for the SNTP client task always open in the coreSNTP demo. The Denial of Service attack can occur from receiving multiple server response (duplicated or malicious) for a single SNTP time request sent by the client, and thereby, filing the socket network buffer response packets that affect future time requests.
Solution
This PR fixes this vulnerability by updating the demo to keep a UDP socket open only for the time period of waiting for server response, closing the socket on either receiving a server response or experiencing server timeout, and re-creating a UDP socket for the next polling try. This PR also adds another security functionality using a random port for UDP socket to protect against spoofing attacks from "off-network path" attackers.
Update the coreSNTP submodule to the latest commit. Also, make updates to the coreSNTP demo for the new changes in the SNTP library which include the following:
1. Update to the type for packet size from size_t to uint16_t for parameters in the transport and authentication interfaces.
2. Change in the call to Sntp_SendTimeRequest API to pass the new blockTimeMs parameter added to the API.
3. Update to the clock-offfset type from int32_t to int64_t for representing information in milliseconds. To accommodate this update in the SntpSetTime_t interface, the mathematical model for representing system clock has been updated to store slew rate as milliseconds/second (instead of second/second). This change improves the accuracy of the WinSim demo time correction (because the milliseconds of time difference between server and client time is corrected over the entire polling interval which makes a significant difference!).
This PR also adds demo config macros for setting the block time values passed to the Sntp_SendTimeRequest and Sntp_ReceiveTimeResponse APIs.
Update the coreSNTP demo to showcase use of symmetric key algorithm of authentication scheme for securing SNTP communication between client and server.
The demo uses the AES-128-CMAC algorithm for the generating Message Authentication Code for the client on sending the SNTP time request to server as well as validating the server response received by verifying if the payload present authentication code can be generated. Use of an authentication mechanism in SNTP communication protects against server spoofing attacks as well as man-in-the-middle attacks of server response modification.
The demo uses corePKCS11 library for the AES-CMAC operations. Also, the demo adds functionality of generating random number, using corePKCS11, for sending as a parameter to the Sntp_SendTimeRequest API.
Note: For symmetric key based security mechanism to be protective against malicious, it is IMPORTANT to securely pre-share the symmetric key between client and server.
Add the FreeRTOS/coreSNTP library as a submodule (along with manifest.yaml file update) and add a demo project to showcase use of the coreSNTP library for having a SNTP client daemon in the system for periodically synchronizing system time with the internet to maintain Coordinated Univeral Time (UTC) in a device. This demo maintains UTC time of system in RAM, thereby, representing systems without a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module in the device.
Note: This demo shows use of coreSNTP library for SNTP communication with NTP/SNTP time servers in non-authenticated mode (i.e. without any security mechanism payload beyond the standard 48 bytes of NTP packet exchange between client-server).
