Both .kitchen.yml and .kitchen.local.yml files are pre-processed through ERB which can help to factor out secrets and credentials. For example:

---
driver:
  name: bluebox
  bluebox_customer_id: <%= ENV['BLUEBOX_CUSTOMER_ID'] %>
  bluebox_api_key: <%= ENV['BLUEBOX_API_KEY'] %>
  ssh_public_key: <%= File.expand_path('~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub') %>
  ssh_key: <%= File.expand_path('~/.ssh/id_dsa') %>
