I'm entering this thread late I know and for what it's worth this may be inappropriate for what you're trying to do ...
There's an encryption framework available for free from Aquatic Prime (http://aquaticmac.com/) that is intended to manage registration keys but there's no reason I can see why it couldn't be used to protect data in general. I have used it to encrypt data within an app bundle that I don't want to be in clear text in the bundle resource (puzzle solutions). When a key is provided the app decrypts the data to read it into the program as binary data and use it.
