encrypted file systems

Hi all.

I have some files that I want to put on an encrypted file system. The
file containing this encrypted fs would then be run through mkisofs to
make the iso image, which would then be of course run through cdrecord
to burn the cd. 

I'm wondering which encryption method to use. Ideally, I'd like to be
able to read this back 20 years from now, and it would be nice to
access this in windows as well, though that's not a requirement, since
I expect gnu/linux to be around for a long while (smile). 

The 2 encrypted fs methods I've found are cryptoloop, and dm-crypt. As
far as I understand, cryptoloop is better established, but has been
deprecated since linux 2.6.4. It has been superseded by dm-crypt,
which seems not to be as well established as cryptoloop, and not as well
tested, according to the cryptoloop howto. I'm wondering then which one I should use for the long term,
any suggestions? 

Thanks in advance.

Greg
