Abstract: The time synchronization of a network is protected against unauthorized changes to the grandmaster clock of a base time domain by monitoring the physical communication interfaces of a network device for arrival of messages relating to time synchronization. If the messages relating to time synchronization apply to the initially set-up and synchronized base time domain, a check is performed to determine whether the messages relating to time synchronization announce a new grandmaster clock having better clock parameters than those of the present grandmaster clock. If so, a virtual base time domain is started by the network device. If the verification reveals that the proposed new grandmaster clock is trustworthy or valid, the network device discontinues the virtual time domain, updates its stored information concerning the grandmaster clock and, from this time onward, sends messages relating to time synchronization that are based on the new clock parameters to the network.
