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

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:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2095.html
It uses a parental-control mechanism as an example of one of the
things that Authorization Services can be used for.
