Role passwords

We are developing an app which will contain sensitive data. Internal security will be assigned using roles. I want to password protect the roles,
but do not want the users to know the passwords, or to hardcode them in the app. This is to prevent any tool but the app having update privs on the app tables.
Ideally, I would like to encrypt the passwords, store them in blobs, and use the obfuscation toolkit to encrypt/decrypt them - but it looks like we dont have a secure key server.
Are there any other alternatives for implementing secure role based security?

Regards
Mark
