Allow PGP integration to remote key/secret vault - currently SFG only allows local installation

Currently within our Sterling File Gateway installation we use Symantec PGP Command Line to encrypt/decrypt files between a few of our trading partners. The PGP server installation is running locally on the same application servers which are running the SFG application software, which appears to be the as-designed behavior in the application.

May we request support within B2B to support storing of the PGP public and private keys within a remote vault or location (such as cyberark, amazon secrets manager, etc), and have the application be able to decrypt and encrypt messages using these keys? For any of the questions or clarifications about the request, please let me know.

How will this idea be used?

This will be used to centralize storage of our PGP private and public keys to a credential vault, rather than maintaining the PGP installations manually on each node of our B2b cluster
