The worst method is the time synchronization via HTML ( Hypertext Markup Language ). The system sends a request to a webserver and extracts the time from the reponse HTML-code. In this case you have a very heigh insecurity because you don't now anything about the reponsetime and the runtime of transfering the website to your pc.
Explicitly better are the methods of the NTP( Network Time Protocol ). NTP uses on port 13 an ASCII ( American Standard Code for Information Interchange ) protocol for getting time and uses on port 37 a binary time value ( 32 bit ). In this value you can find the seconds elapsed since 1/1/1900 . Both mehods are good but they don't regard the runtimes and they have only a precision based on seconds.
The new version of NTP ist a hierarchical protocol that communicate over timeservers. This method use several stratas. The strata level 1 is the strate that has a directly connected time source ( e.g. a atomic clock ). Strata 2 server receive their time from the server at level 1 etc.
You can define 1 primary server and two secondary server. The secondary server(s) will be used if the primary server is not available. Sychronizationoption are after programstart or after a defineable time window. The mainwindow can be transparantly displayed. Color and the level of transparency you can setting up. Furthermore you have some options to define the software response if you have a date. Up to 100 dates can be configured. Additional you can automatically open the bidding site from e-Bay for an article you interested in and you can observe the items price.
But BayTime can more. We have implemented a shutdown manager and a LAN-time synchronization for computer without directly internet connection.
