Question encrypted usb drive

I'm attempting encrypt my usb drve sdc (or partition sdc1). I've read the how-to documentation, however, their links are broken for the losetup patch. I get the error invalid arguement
but..
I was able to use cryptosetup to create an encrypted device link 'usb' in /dev/mapper
and if I do dd if=/dev/mapper/usb of=/home/Steve/usb.bin the contents of the usb drive are encrypted
but if I do dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/Steve/usb1.bin the contents aren't encrypted
I suppose I could do dd if=/home/Steve/usb.bin of=/dev/sdc and whatnot
then reading it I could setup a 'usb' link in mapper that unencrypts sdc,
but I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas on different ways to encrypt the drive
