How can I avoid saving my irssi (irc) password in plain text (yet still log in automatically)?

Question

I have this line in my irssi config file:

autosendcmd = "/msg nickserv identify [my-password-here] ; wait 2000";

I like being able to log in automatically, but I'd rather not save my password in plain text. Is there a way to do that?

If you are using Rizon, the exact guide is here at wiki.rizon.net.

General setup would be that you use openssl to create a certificate and a key, concatenate them into one .pem file, create md5 hask and provide the networks ident bot with the hash.
