With Windows, the kindle.info file is created upon install and modified upon registration. It's encrypted (and unencrypted) using Windows' crypt32.dll library--which is responsible for basic Certificate and Cryptographic Messaging functions. I imagine the first step for a Mac solution would be finding the equivalent built-in cryptography library that is used for this same purpose.

EDIT: Which I'm guessing would have something to do with Mac's Keychain Services API.
