It looks to me that you've encrypted the entire output of mkiso, which would also include sector 0 and such. So the mount can't do anything with the underlying device I guess. Perhaps someone else has done a direct encryption on the device. Have you tried adding "-t iso9660"? I doubt that is enough but it is the next thing I'd try. Also, why specifiy the specific loop device? mount will just select the next available one. I've done this by building a loopback filesystem first and then putting it as a file on a plain ISO9660 fs. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
