Ok, I'll look up the different encodings I could do with openssl, Thanks for the suggestion. This is basically for Parental Controls, I know I could ask for a password at first, but then any kid could grab a copy and set their own password. What I'm doing is I'm asking for them to authenticate with Mac OS X, and then once they are authenticated, I'm allowing them to set settings that are encrypted with a key in AES.
