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.
