Absolutely. But if you can work it so that you have to key in the key 
manually on startup, or store it on a removable flash drive and it 
remains in memory during runtime, then you've achieved what you need. 
Again... this is considerable complexity in the code -- not a simple 
dialplan hack. BUT... it would add security.

I'm just tossing out ideas here.
