I'm not aware of any client authentication code anywhere in NTP.
Moreover, how do you propose to authenticate millions of clients
around the world to a small set of pool.ntp.org servers, many of
which are behind personal DSL lines?
Moreover, if you are aware of client authentication code in NTP,
would you please take a look at the last two bullets under 4.3.16 at
<https://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers#Section_4.3.1.6.>
and supply appropriate corrections?
