Clickjacking & OAuth

Applies clickjacking to OAuth: a malicious consumer frames a service provider's authorization page and overlays the approve button, so a user granting access believes they clicked something harmless. Reviews the defences and their costs: framebusting is defeated by IE's security="restricted" frame attribute, X-Frame-Options is too new, and re-authentication invites phishing.
