[OpenID] Trust + Security @ OpenID

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

Hi All,

Last year I was subscribed to this and some other mailing lists at 
OpenID. Some progress has been made since last year and my thoughts on 
this subject are here: https://blog.startcom.org/?p=20
However it seems to me, that after browsing through the archive for a 
while, that the same issues (I raised last year already) seem to come up 
again and again at this forum: That of trust and security. We've been 
through all these discussions already various times...with no results! 
But it also seems to me, that there are people willing to offer ideas 
and solutions, about how to allow relying parties to trust and actually 
rely on OpenID providers.  (I wonder why the OpenID Foundation and its 
members refrain from addressing this critical issue! Is it on purpose 
and by design? I think there are many on this list who would like get an 
answer on this from one of the board members.)

Nevertheless, since the OpenID framework is open and can be extended to 
solve the problems in question, the interested participants and parties 
might try to solve them without waiting for anybody...ideas, suggestions?
