Creating Plists / How is the <data> value generated?

I'm looking for what is used to generate the <data> values in plist's. For example. if you check "Open with rosetta" from an Application's "get info". It puts an entry in com.apple.LaunchServices.plist under LSPrefsFatApplications. What is it putting in the <data> field?

If you use plutil to convert the file to xml, you'll see some sort of hash. Where can I find out how that is generated, or some more resources?

I've been doing some research and know that the <data> represents a CFData object, but what in this case is creating the values in this situation?

Sorry if this isn't the right list, I can't find just the right place to be asking this..
