It looks like the encrypt command is already using this method if

starts with "salted" and at least part of the salt value.
Hi Bob,
The "encrypt" command provides symmetric cryptographic functions, i.e.
you can decrypt the result again to get the cleartext back. This is
_not_ a desirable property for a password storage system; you should
always use one-way (asymmetric) functions, such as a cryptographic hash.
