-A data bag is a global variable that is stored as JSON data and is accessible from a server. A data bag is indexed for searching and can be loaded by a recipe or accessed during a search. The contents of a data bag can vary, but they often include sensitive information (such as database passwords).
-.sp
-The contents of a data bag can be encrypted using \fI\%shared secret encryption\fP. This allows a data bag to store confidential information (such as a database password) or to be managed in a source control system (without plain\-text data appearing in revision history).
-.sp
-The \fBknife data bag\fP subcommand is used to manage arbitrary stores of globally available JSON data.

-.sp

+Data Bag Item encryption uses the AES\-256 CBC symmetric key algorithm\.
+.

+\fBCAVEATS:\fR Keys are not encrypted; only values are encrypted\. The "id" of a Data Bag Item is not encrypted, since it is used by Chef Server to store the item in its database\. For example, given the following data bag item: {"id": "important_passwords", "secret_password": "opensesame"} The key "secret_password" will be visible to an evesdropper, but the value "opensesame" will be protected\. Both the key "id" and its value "important_passwords" will be visible to an evesdropper\.
