Using the KMES Series 3 to protect Ansible private keys

Ansible can work with private keys stored on the KMES Series 3, which helps to prevent key disclosure and enables the secure usage of private keys to perform various functions. With this integration, you can securely reference your private key stored in a KMES Series 3 to perform automated tasks with Ansible Playbooks by using the Futurex PKCS #11 library and OpenSSL.
