Indeed, crypto, sans re viewable source, is questionable if for no other reason. Am I (or you) personally capable of reviewing all that source? Maybe, maybe not. But it offers that opportunity to a community that I can become familiar with to make and informed decision.

Forgot to mention:

...if you ever decide to use Linux as a host OS.
No kernel patches required (optional).
Just the stipulation of module loading & the internal LOOP driver (loop.c) to be a module. So a Kernel recompile is necessary if this is not set already and a patch-n-recompile of some net-utils files {mount,umount,losetup & swapon)

Very nice, very flexible, well maintained.

(Device-mapper crypto target - significantly easier to use than loopback, supported in kernels >= 2.6.4, and uses cryptoAPI. You can even use it for swap!)
