Use an NTP Server

It's recommended to implement a third-party NTP server so that the device receives the correct current date and time. This is necessary for validating certificates of remote parties. It's also recommended to enable the device to authenticate and validate messages received from the NTP server. Authentication is done using an authentication key with the MD5 cryptographic hash algorithm. NTP messages that are received without authentication are ignored.
