Hi All,

As part of the OpenID 2.1 Working Group proposal, I've been nominated to 
edit the OpenID Security Best Practices document, which will be a living 
document that contains security related best practices as determined by 
the community.

Although we haven't officially  kicked off the OpenID 2.1 WG yet, OpenID 
has been gaining a lot of momentum and interest lately, so it's 
definitely time to start writing it.

Here's a very rough draft that captures many security related 
discussions that we've had on the OpenID mailing lists and also at 
meetups like the Internet Identity Workshop.

Feedback and suggestions are more than welcome. As mentioned, this is 
intended to be a living document, so we fully expect the document to 
continue to evolve over time.

Thanks
Allen
