I saw that the users cookbook will use "ssh_private_key" and

so not secure.

That is not the case when you use [encrypted data bags][1].

Thanks for the reference. but I can use encrypted data bags just fine.

As previously stated, what I want to do is to use the community users cookbook [0] to distribute those keys. That cookbook already has a resource provider to deploy the keys for each user, but I couldn't find a way to make it read an encrypted data bag. If it's possible, I'd like to know.
