NIST LOAs and Kerberos

Not only that, but also I think it's possible to interpret this spec
in ways that rule out Kerberos completely.  For example, you can't
re-use temporary shared secrets, which could be interpreted as
requiring that no tickets be cached, or maybe it should be interpreted
as requiring new sub-session keys every time.  And in higher LoAs you
have to protect even temporary shared secrets with a security module,
which means that you'd have to protect ccaches with security modules.
Also, long-term service keys would have to be protected by security
modules.
