netctl with 802.1x password obfuscation

Hi,

I've figured out how to connect to an 802.1x network with netctl, but right now my password is in cleartext in the profile for the network. The netctl wiki page shows how to do password obfuscation for a wpa network, and I was wondering if it is possible to obfuscate the password in a similar way for 802.1x.

This is my current profile:

Description='Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
ESSID=id
IP=dhcp

WPAConfigSection=(
 'ssid="id"'
 'proto=RSN'
 'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
 'pairwise=CCMP'
 'auth_alg=OPEN'
 'eap=PEAP'
 'identity="User"'
 'password="Pass"'
)

Thanks!
