You can also use cryptloop or dm-crypt and create an encrypted file system protected with a key.They call it sometimes encrypted containers, read more here http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8599.
This is kind of usefull since you can have your own device and change files,mount-umount,backup to Cd/Dvd etc.
