Because I need something like TrueCrypt on FreeBSD. Decrypting the whole
ISO file first will make the situation insecure and definitely will kill
the purpose. An accidental reboot alongwith loss of the system/disk
while having the iso in a decrypted form can cause problems.

Does it need to be an ISO file? i'm just curious why you can't use a
UFS file that's then geli encrypted?
If it does need to be an iso, simply make the same UFS filesystem (2k
blocksize) of 700MB and geli encrypt that. It'll still burn to CD,
but won't be a CD Filesystem.
Does this help?

No it need not strictly be an iso. Infact I want a 10 GB file.
I had given GELI encrypted UFS file a thought but I want it to be
mountable from MS-Windows as well.
UFS Explorer mounts UFS Disks but allows one way data xfrer (from UFS to
Windows). You cannot write onto using UFS Explorer. Besides
Maybe if instead of you asking about filesystem compatibility (we all
know that problem), what if you ask on what your purpose for this
cross is.
Because I know I'll be shooting from the hip to try to understand the
scenario before I can be of real help.

If you need true-crypt compatible encryption you must ask truecrypt for
FreeBSD port :)
If you like good encryption at all, use geli.
it's useful for any block device. Recording encrypted DVD's are bit
tricky, but not difficult. Then you use them as any normal block device.
Does FreeBSD or any BSD/OS have mount -o encryption support ?
I want to pipe aespipe and mount an encrypted iso. I have already
checked on FreeBSD 7.1 amd64 that loop option isn't available, so I am
sticking to mdconfig and vnconfig on old versions.
If not then,
Is it possible to pipe aespipe
