Yes, I did suggest to the author of 7-Zip ( Igor Pavlov ) that him sign the binaries with is own made code signing certificate. It is relatively easy to create a Root Certificate and a Code Signing certificate for free using the free and opensource XCA software (https://github.com/chris2511/xca/) (available for Windows, macOS, Linux), and since he has the web site he can easily host the Root Certificate (CRT) and the revocation (CRL) file needed for people to download to check it is the genuine version....

Ok, it seems I got the picture of how it currently works correctly. Well, I think I given my suggestion to these new feature in a way that your understand what I mean. Even if you decide to implement the way it currently is, it will still be better than just supporting NTP, and if it can be the way I suggest it would be perfect for me and likely to most people wanting the most accurate time possible over Internet but with the advantage of knowing that there is little chance some attacker influence...
I've tested version 3.14 and it seems to only connect to the first server in the list and not to the other ones unless the first server doesn't answer? That is why a wrote that. By your answer it seemed that the program connects to the first server, and if the local machine time is closed enough it will say things seem fine, but if not he may test another server until someone agrees with the local time?
Hello Mark Griffiths, Thanks for the answer. I hope it can be added in the near future as there isn't any native program for Windows that supports Network Time Security (NTS). I understand the explanation. My idea would be for the NetTime to have the option to test several servers to see what is the time that the SERVERS agree is the correct one, of course taking into account that one or more servers may not agree with what is the correct hour for several reasons, but these would be taking into account...
