  "abstract": "This document describes Roughtime, an experimental protocol that aims to achieve two things: secure, rough time synchronization (even for clients without any idea of what time it is) and a format for clients to report any inconsistencies they observe between timeservers. This document specifies the on-wire protocol required for these goals and discusses aspects of the ecosystem needed for it to work.",
