Is there any option like "xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path:" in elasticsearch ?

Is there any another option to hide private key in Windows servers?

It has a keystore - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.6/keystore.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.6/keystore.html). Not sure if that can be used for private keys though.
