* #### Using Blowfish
*
* - Creating Hashes: *Do not supply a salt*. Cake handles salt creation for
* you ensuring that each hashed password will have a *unique* salt.
* - Comparing Hashes: Simply pass the originally hashed password as the salt.
* The salt is prepended to the hash and php handles the parsing automagically.
* For convenience the BlowfishAuthenticate adapter is available for use with
* the AuthComponent.
* - Do NOT use a constant salt for blowfish!

* value to $string (Security.salt). If you are using blowfish the salt
* must be false or a previously generated salt.
