[chef] encrypting data bags on the chef server using a gem like Ridley

[< >]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to encrypt databags on a Chef Server through an API
call.

I've been using the Ridley ruby gem and that has been sufficient for most of 
my
needs but I need to encrypt data bags through the chef api but can't figure 
out
a way of doing this. ( i want to avoid using the knife tool if possible).

If anyone has used the Ridley gem to do this, can you please tell me the
command to do so? Or if you know of another way of encrypting data bags 
through
the api, then please tell me.

I'm a new user to Chef.

Many thanks
