Probably nobody wants to hear this, but what is the point of encryption when the decryption key is sitting around in one or more programs? The attacker can steal the data but not the program or its source? I doubt you're going to set things up so that a human has to enter a password to decrypt the AES key every time you want to read a record and do something with the SSN.
