Mounting Encrypted ISO and mdconfig

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.
I need decryption on the fly, without making an extra copy of the same
file.
