Zeev Hed: RTC and the TAN...

I happen to be of the opinion that you are familiar with the requirements of manufacturing high precision mechanical components i.e/. HD drive shafts...let me try to connect that to the TAN.

Let's say one must manufacture/cylindrically grind components to diametrical tolerances of less than 1 micron.

Such a high precision grinding machine is equipped, obviously, with in-process-gauging. But given the hostile environment such a machine/in-process-gauging is in (thermal variations, wear, system drifts) it becomes necessary that a post-process-gauging system is superimposed onto the system in order to verify/recalibrate the in-process-gauging system from time to time.

I apply this this to the TAN:

While the E2100 chip has secure local time it becomes necessary to recalibrate the secure local time from time to time. And this is also done via the TAN

Like we've been saying: It's the TAN, the TAN...too bad I still do not have the understanding about it that I wish I had...
