Abstract: A method and system for the post-adjustment (i.e., offline) of event timestamps to implement virtual time synchronization amongst detection node clocks. In existing methodologies with the goal of clock synchronization, clocks (and timestamps generated therefrom) are disciplined or adjusted at the recordation time of the events on a detection node (e.g., a switch/router, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, a wireless sensor, etc.). However, there is no particular reason for these clocks or timestamps to be accurate during the recordation time, but rather, should be accurate at their use or interpretation time. Further, through these recordation time adjustments, clock drifts and timing errors may be gradually introduced, leading to runaway inaccuracies. The disclosed method and system intentionally avoids the disciplining of clocks at event recordation times on the detection node and, instead, adjusts timestamps during interpretation times, to overcome the aforementioned issues.
