this works. but from a security viewpoint, it’s a bad idea altogether.

a) cryptoloop should not be used, at all. there’s significant flaws (the whole API is a flawed crypto implementation). the most important one being watermark attacks. have a lookie @ http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.2/1137.html
b) blowfish. use twofish instead if you must use a -fish cipher. (go serpent if you ask me)
c) if you must use onboard resources, dm-crypt is ok these days.
d) go loop-AES if you value your sanity
