[chef] Distribute private ssh keys via users cookbook

[Cassiano Leal < >]

Hi!

Is there a way to securely distribute private ssh keys through the users community cookbook?

In my setup I have a user deploy that will fetch from git, and I need that user to have a SSH key that's authorized on the git repo. I saw that the users cookbook will use "ssh_private_key" and "ssh_public_key" data bag items, but those would be unencrypted, so not secure.

If people are using a different approach, I'd like to hear about that too.

Thanks!
