In this case:
#include the password (a file the line 'secret=') from a local file on
the file system. The user has no access to it, right?
It might as well be a database, a remote URL (CURL), an output of a
script (#exec). Whichever works best for you.
One test for you to consider: are the users able to use the "encrypted"
configuration item in a different Asterisk system (without your
concent)?
