It's most likely implemented using an SFAuthorizationView.  It looks  
like the SFAuthorizationView loads several .tif files from /System/ 
Library/Frameworks/SecurityInterface.framework/Versions/A/Resources  
and draws the animation.
I amused myself while waiting for my wife's flight by implementing a  
REALbasic knockoff.  You can get the project at <http://github.com/declaresub/maclockbutton/tree/master
