I use the cryptsetup-luks package. I have a USB drive partitioned in
two slices, first one formatted VFAT the other setup using LUKS and
formatted ext2. I plug in my thumb drive, it auto-detects both
partitions, mounts the VFAT and asks for a password for the other then
mounts it. It can use any crypto scheme compiled into the kernel, I use
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256.
