ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatus and computer readable medium are described that attempt increase trust in a system time provided by a system clock. In some embodiments, a detector detects activities that may be associated with attacks against the system clock. Based upon whether the detector detects a possible attack against the system clock, the computing device may determine whether or not to trust the system time provided by the system clock.
