True, you can get limited-lifetime tickets, which is a bit safer since
any attacker would have to use them right away.  If you can get them
without exposing your key material (using PKINIT, for instance), that
could be a possible solution.

You obviously don't want to get password-based tickets from an untrusted
machine.
