I'm not totally against OpenID concept, I'm just paranoid about it at this stage.

Here's my take on

Nice presentation. I was not sure how CSRF or XSS vulnerabilities would get particularly influenced for better or for worse by using OpenID.

Phishing of course is a big problem, and using extensions such as Seatbelt for Firefox might be useful.

Are those vulnerabilities with OpenID are with CardSpace too? , I believe both works on almost same methodology.

@Dhananjay
XSS and CSRF can be used for many "good" things.
Depending on client side security life FF extension is not a very good idea, I feel client side security is for geeks only, what about common man. Even you know how much a common man knows about security

@Vikram
Frankly telling, I haven't tried any attack on CardSpace yet. So can't comment at this moment. If you do so, please let me also know.
