When creating a secure socket connection, the server sends a message to the client containing the certificate chain of the server. The client must determine if the certificate chain is valid for the connection, which includes verifying that the current date and time is within the validity period of the server certificate. The TIDC-01005 uses a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) implementation to automatically retrieve the current network date and time from an NTP server and set the internal RTC of the CC3220S. The date and time of the RTC are then used to verify the server certificates are valid when using secure sockets.
