Bela Ban commented on JGRP-2203:
--------------------------------

A similar issue exists when we have \{A,B,C\} and C leaves gracefully and {{change_key_on_leave}} is true. 

* A creates a new secret key, encrypts view \{A,B\} and broadcasts it. 
* B drops the view because it cannot decrypt it.
* B then asks A for the secret key
* A sends the new secret key to B
* B is now able to decrypt the (retransmitted) view \{A,B\}

Perhaps the common solution for this issue and the issue described above is to have the coordinator send a {{FETCH_SECRET_KEY}} message to all members so they fetch the new secret key via the key exchange protocol.

> When we have \{A,B,C\} and A is killed, B and C never end up with the same view. (This works when A leaves gracefully).
> The sample config is attached as asym-encrypt.xml
