Github user zeb209 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/189#issuecomment-96037112 ATS does not review tickets using the middle key. Here is how it works. When you rotate the key, you push a new key to the head of the key file and remove one from the tail of the file. The new key will be used to encrypt session tickets and the rest are only used to decrypt session tickets. The middle keys are not used to encrypt any more because they are retired and only used to resume sessions.
