摘要
With the development of time synchronization technology in the railway field, it is extremely important to ensure the safe operation of Network Time Protocol(NTP) in real time. Since NTP contains security defects itself, it is necessary to analyze the security mechanism of the NTP protocol. Firstly, taking the connectionless nature of NTP protocol into consideration, the Colored Petri Nets(CPN) were used to establish CPN model of NTP under the normal working mode to analyze the loopholes and vulnerabilities during the time synchronization. Then, the knowledge sets required by the intruder to successfully attack the protocol and the knowledge sets that an intruder can acquire during an attack were set up. The CPN were used to model the attack process of NTP protocol. Furthermore, through the reversed state analysis, the accessibility of NTP protocol into insecure state was analyzed. Finally, the analysis results were verified through CPNTools simulation. The results show that it is unsafe for NTP during its process of server authentication. © 2017, Editorial Office of Journal of the China Railway Society. All right reserved.
