I'm not lucky with encryption these days: keyfile on USB stick doesn't work ( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52507 ), so revert to the passphrase thing.
I had swap encryption working using the old rc.local way etc. now there's a new way... "SWAP" keyword inside /etc/crypttab and no rc.local changes, wonderful right? Wrong. It doesn't work, if you put (example)
swap /dev/sda3 SWAP -c aes-xts-plain -h whirlpool -s 512inside /etc/crypttab and reboot, it doesn't create any /dev/mapper/swap device (so it can't swapon).
Where's the issue?

No... maybe reverting to the "old" way (no SWAP keyword etc.)

It does that on purpose apparently. Your swap partition probably has a luks header already and the SWAP statement in /etc/crypttab will not over write anything with a luks header.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whateveryourswapis
e.g. (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3)
and then reboot, should do the trick.

Very good idea, killecho7!
I have this working myself.
