            Bug ID: 45956
           Summary: Security enhanced authentication: before, during, and
                    after authentication process allow to inspect Server
                    fingerprints; store them in the database
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: OpenID

To lower risks of MITM attacks in the authentication process, I propose similar
to what I proposed in [1]:

before and during the authentication process 

+ allow to inspect Server fingerprints (sha-256, sha-1, md5)

and then store them also in the wiki database.

+ Add to the tables in OpenID preferences a way to 

i)   to inspect (list) stored fingerprints ; and perhaps 
ii ) to check (compare) the stored against the current server fingerprints.


Implementation tip:

The code for this can(should) be used and shared with php-openid library and
its storage.
