I was mistaken when using SHA1. But for example AES does not work.
It is possible to ask to give an example precisely working?
About 2 years ago problems has not arisen.

# losetup -e AES /dev/loop0 /tmp/cr
Password:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (128
bits) not supported by kernel

# losetup -e AES128 /dev/loop0 /tmp/cr
Password:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (128
bits) not supported by kernel
