This is really a question that is more appropriately directed towards the
maintainers of Cygwin Easy, since that's a separate project and anything
we might say here may not be appropriate for Cygwin Easy.   That said...


I would like to kow if we can use encrypted FileSystem or folder with
cygwin.

e.g.:
mount -t vfat info.img info/ -oencrypted=aes128

or another way.

Cygwin is not Linux (or Unix or BSD or)  It has no file-system drivers
and relies on Windows to provide file access.  Translation - you cannot
mount a file system with Cygwin like you show above.  Cygwin's mount is
not too much more than a mapping of Windows-style paths to POSIX ones.


Purpose:
be able to use mobile cygwin with an encrypted device (partition,
folder, fs image) without have to alter hoster system (no modifications
on the operating system, even on c: drive).

Do you have any idea?

In general, if you can do it with Windows, you should be able to do it
with Cygwin and that may translate into being able to do it with Cygwin
Easy.  But to do it with Windows means you need an NTFS file system on
your USB disk.  If that's a problem for you, then I believe you have
provided the answer to yourself. ;-)

Though not part of cygwin, truecrypt is an excellent and open source
utility that will allow you to make and encrypted disk.  Then you can
install whatever you like on it.

I tryed TrueCrypt but Security Policy on my professional laptop forbid 
use of it own driver.


I tryed too Cross Crypt but the problem is the  fact that this tool need 
to modify register.


Any other idea?


Thanks for your help.

How to use encrypted folder (or filesystem)
