Hi Ken,

Thank you for the reply. 
What do you mean by a compromised key here ?
In the case where the principal has obtained a TGT
from the KDC, then the KDC's password is changed, if
the old key is not retained, then the TGS-REQ will be
rejected since the KDC can't decrypt the TGT, am I
right ?
What's the principal supposed to do in this case ?
Sends an AS-REQ ?
