About Certichron and CertifiedTime™

"Time is in everything digital today. Trustable time is the key anchor for all transaction records as well". To meet the needs of a growing digital economy Certichron has built a national access model for distributing provable time in the US and globally.

Nationally Available: Today Certichron’s Regional Timing Centers quietly provide laboratory-grade low-latency time data access to the US National Timebase on a massive scale for network synchronization as well as for time-stamping from the penultimate trust anchor, the official civilian timescale standard of the United States.

1 Billion strong: Today, and everyday, it is estimated that over 1 billion time-setting events are completed against Certichron’s public servers making them the largest non-government source of certified time in the world. This free service is offered as part of the private/government partnership with the NIST ITS program as well as other calibration and certification offerings.

Fits all users needs: From single-sites to enterprise adopters, the CertifiedTime™ Family of timing solutions extends basic time-keeping into an evidence partnership with a commercial grade time service that mirrors the operations of a Commercial Certificate Authority.

CertifiedTime™ is tailored to the client’s needs and is a simple bolt on to their existing network. It is the other half of the US National Timing Service and is a component of the PNT ground segment. For its users CertifiedTime™ brings the availability of the local US NIST UTC resource to your location. The software service is secure, robust, scalable, and in certain NTP use models can be accessed via an internet connection. Service is available over private-channel cross connects for enterprise and carrier-class users in both NTP and PTP forms allowing for an in-line fail-over and highly secure time source to be plumbed into virtually everything.
