How to create an encrypted partition on an usb stick or usb harddrive in 6 steps:

1. Partition the stick/hard drive (we assume it is located under /dev/sdb)

   fdisk /dev/sdb

2. Setup the encrypted partition with cryptsetup

   cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 luksFormat /dev/sdb1

3. Optionally add aditional keys

   cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdb1

4. Open the container

   cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 some_name

   mkfs.ext3 -L label -m 0 /dev/mapper/some_name
