| Jul 14, 2020 at 1:13 | comment | added | stewbasic | I think the underlying question is whether depending on a timestamp set by the client is sensible, given that a malicious client could choose any time setting when talking to the bank. It sounds like the purpose is to defend against a malicious client replaying a request from an honest client, assuming the honest client and bank are synchronized? | |
