CakePHP and CSRF

I'm new to CakePHP and am wondering how to protect my forms from Cross Site Request Forgery, ie adding a nonce to the forms. I've set the salt in the config file.

you can also import the Sanitze lib for extra strong security

http://book.cakephp.org/view/153/Data-Sanitization

App::import('Sanitize');
$badString = ";:<script><html><   // >@@#";
echo Sanitize::paranoid($badString);
// output: scripthtml
echo Sanitize::paranoid($badString, array(' ', '@'));
// output: scripthtml    @@

You have to add the Security component to the $components array of your controller(s):

public $components = array('Security');

CakePHP will then automatically add a nonce to your form when you use the Form helper to create your forms.
