OpenID association poisoning

Describes a possible OpenID association-store flaw: a malicious provider chooses another provider’s association handle and replaces its shared secret. A relying party that indexes associations incorrectly could reject legitimate logins or accept forged identities. The author checks DotNetOpenId and Janrain’s Ruby library and finds neither vulnerable to this proposed attack.
