IPSec, kerboros, etc. all use time as part of the auto-generated session
key to prevent playback attacks.

If a black hat has an intercepted message he wants to decode then he can
set his clock to anything he wants to.  Time is no help there, except
to expand the key search space if they are looking for an unknown key.
If they have the key already nothing you can do if they can reset their
clock.

All that time gets you is protection from replays.
