pitAuth is a user authentication implementation for CakePHP, ya ya… there are some implementations out there already.. like othAuth, and rdAuth. Although I do support the open source community, I got a company to grow. @_@ I also want to have a more secure implementation.

Drafted feature:

• “salted” SHA1 encryption instead of MD5 (would probably use more resources than MD5)
• User can be in one or more Group
• Each user and group might have one or more permission
• Integration with CakePHP ACL
• Generate new password for password retrieval
• Plugin-ready for LDAP and other method

I will continue to add once I figure them out. The comments on PHP Manual on SHA1 has some useful information on security and improving performance.
