knife-solo_data_bag should handle any data bag related stuff but we should update the docs to tell people how to do that.

(original report)

I've been working on a similar project lately, then I saw yours and I'm evaluating to switch and possibly contribute to it. The main difference I see is the lack of a built-in utility to manipulate encrypted data bags (encrypt and decrypt them). If there's any plan for this feature to be introduced, I may provide a possible solution in a pull request.

My idea is basically to assume an encryption key file to be present in root or data_bags folder, and encrypt any *.rb file in data_bags folder to the corresponding json file (and vice versa for decryption).

What do you think about it?
