You also need the cryptoloop module and as far as I know tell losetup
which device to use:
losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 ~/encrypted_file
After telling losetup the keysize and password, you can create a
filesystem on /dev/loop0 and mount it. Later, you can mount it directly
without using losetup:
mount ~/encrypted_file /some/dir -o encryption=blowfish,loop
