RFC 6113 section 5.4.2 specifies this in the second point of the bullet
list.  The authenticator in the PA-TGS-REQ is used to compute the armor
key; this is called "implicit armor."  The KrbFastArmoredReq pa-data
contains omits the armor field, so it contains only a req-checksum and
an enc-fast-req.

The benefits of FAST for TGS are less significant than for AS, but it
does tighten up some security properties of the TGS exchange,
authenticating fields which are currently unauthenticated.
