You may find these in `man mount.crypt`.

/etc/crypttab is a mechanism specific to somewhere between distro and 
cryptsetup. It is invoked by some /etc/init.d script to mount static 
crypto volumes on boot. It should be documented in crypttab(5), too.

The fsk_hash/fsk_cipher/keyfile options to mount.crypt dictate that
mount.crypt shall read and decrypt the keyfile with your given password,
and send the decrypted key (securely) to cryptsetup for use as a key.
