The question is: is the AES encryption stuff central to what you're trying to achieve, or is it just your way of enforcing the parental controls? If it's the latter, then you may be able to ditch the encryption scheme entirely and use Authorization Services to replace it as the means for implementing parental controls. Authorization Services is not _just_ about proving that a user is an administrator or acquiring system privileges. You can also use it to make a self-restricted app, like one which implements parental control.
