Asterisk needs the plain text password to authenicate. You could wrap a 
base64 decode when reading the passwords, but this is obsecurity, yet 
simple to implement & should prevent the casual browser. I guess a more 
secure method would public key crypto and give asterisk the key at 
runtime (obviously not 100% secure either)
