  /**
   * Get a String uniquely identifying this Ticket within this instance of CAS Server.
   * The id must contain a substring that is drawn uniformly at random from a large space --
   * this is vital to the security of a CAS implementation.
   */
  public String getId();

  /**
   * Get the GrantingTicket from which this Ticket was generated.
   * Returns null in the case where this Ticket was not created from a GrantingTicket.

  /**
   * Get the Date at which this Ticket was created.
   */ 
  public Date getTimestamp();

}

GrantingTickets add to Ticket an additional property: the immediate authenticated Principal to which the GrantingTicket was issued. This might be a user Principal, in the case of the GrantingTicket that is stored into a secure cookie in a user's web browser, or this might be a service Principal, in the case of a GrantingTicket that was issued by secure callback to an application or to an otherwise authenticated application out there on the Internet.
