+A sends Enc(SessionKeyB, SharedKeyB, IDA) // this bit came in the package from last round

+Fixes step 3 with timestamps. We also shorten the overall process.
+Problem: both parties need to be time synchronized.

+2. B sends {NonceB, Enc(SharedKeyB, [IDA, NonceA, TimeB])} to KDC 
+3. KDC sends {Enc(SharedKeyA, [IDB,, NonceA, SessionKey, TimeB), E(SharedKeyB, [IDA, SessionKey, TimeB]), NonceB} to A
+4. A sends {E(SharedKey, [IDA, SessionKey, TimeB]), E(SessionKey, NonceB} to B
