Just as a word of advise.
This is a public list that's indexed by search engines. So don't reveal anything here that you'd want to keep private. I'm not advising security through obscurity. If you use keychains or similar systems, knowing how it works won't help cracking anyway.
But just in case, don't talk about the name of your app maybe :)

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.

You might consider using Authorization Services for this, instead of rolling your own. See:

It uses a parental-control mechanism as an example of one of the things that Authorization Services can be used for.
