When the cryptoloop module is loaded (or compiled in), it uses number 18.
This cryptoloop module will take the name of an arbitrary encryption type

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-a, \-\-all\fP"
show status of all loop devices
.IP "\fB\-c, \-\-set-capacity\fP \fIloopdev\fP
force loop driver to reread size of the file associated with the specified loop device
-.IP "\fB\-d, \-\-detach\fP \fIloopdev\fP [\fIloopdev\fP ...]"
+.IP "\fB\-d, \-\-detach\fP \fIloopdev\fP..."
detach the file or device associated with the specified loop device(s)
.IP "\fB\-e, \-E, \-\-encryption \fIencryption_type\fP"
enable data encryption with specified name or number
DES encryption is painfully slow. On the other hand, XOR is terribly weak.
Cryptoloop is deprecated in favor of dm-crypt. For more details see
