OpenID is promising, but there are security issues with their trust model, phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Do you have any good resources? I found this and it makes good sense to me:

OpenID isn't usable by itself right now; other, more secure SSO solutions are required to front-end it give you any form of security whatsoever. I've looked at it, but there's no way I'd roll it out in production without some decent security studies.

That's key -- I want studies. I want confidence. These guys are supposed to be pros, but their recommendation was a sort of "trust me on this one." I'm glad I'm skeptical!
