Kerberos does not ensure message integrity (assuming you are referring to
data in addition to the authentication ticket). However, the GSS API which
is a part of MIT's KerberosV can be used to checksum (GSS_GetMIC()) or
encrypt for privacy (GSS_Wrap()).

MIT's KerberosV has a command "kdestroy" to get rid of Ticket Granting
Tickets. Certain Os implementations might choose to do the same on user logout.
