There is no cryptographic signatures of any kind on the tickets.
Although CAS and Kerberos are conceptually similar, ticket signing is
a notable difference.  CAS tickets are effectively shared secrets
between the server and client; all validation happens on the server
where the ticket is valid if the server has a record of it being
granted to the client that presents it.

Hum.. then I guess I'm  confusing CAS tickets with SAML tokens.
Thanx!
