Here are some updated links because some of the ones posted below are broken:

http://hg.atheme.org/atheme/atheme/file/6655ba8e0772/doc/SASL <-- Description of how SASL works and the client/server messages that are sent on a SASL authentication.

http://www.leeh.co.uk/draft-mitchell-irc-capabilities-02.html <-- CAP spec/RFC, same as link below, relinked for laziness :D

http://hg.atheme.org/charybdis/charybdis/file/dacf56ba0fc8/doc/sasl.txt <-- Looks like it could be the same document as the first link (didn't do a side-by-side diff or anything), if not, its still service documentation.

http://hg.atheme.org/atheme/atheme/file/6655ba8e0772/contrib/cap_sasl.pl <-- SASL and CAP implementation in Perl for irssi.

http://hg.atheme.org/conspire/conspire/file/fc79e70549c2/src/common/cap.c
http://hg.atheme.org/conspire/conspire/file/fc79e70549c2/src/common/cap.h <-- CAP implementation in C for Conspire which is a GUI client based loosely on XChat.

http://hg.atheme.org/conspire/conspire/file/fc79e70549c2/src/common/sasl.h <-- SASL implementation in C for Conspire.

I'll add to this post just a bit:

SASL requires CAP support as well. Many clients have this built-in, but here's the CAP implementation in Conspire:

http://hg.atheme.org/conspire/file/0b9fe1d95e44/src/common/cap.c#l1
http://hg.atheme.org/conspire/file/0b9fe1d95e44/src/common/cap.h#l1

Here is the CAP spec/RFC: http://www.leeh.co.uk/draft-mitchell-irc-capabilities-02.html

and here is the configuration parameters that should be added for SASL support (they are the ones in Conspire, basically, and the developer of Conspire is also basically the creator of SASL):

irc.server.Freenode.SASL_username = "jdhore"
irc.server.Freenode.SASL_password = "password"

SASL is a alternative way to authenticate to nickserv on some servers and as far as i can tell, it's A LOT more secure then /msg nickserv identify.
It's not extremely widely used yet, but it will be coming to Freenode in about 6 months and it will be on the second most popular ircd in about 3 months.
