When the volume is created, a random encryption key is generated and
encrypted with your password.  When you mount the filesystem your
password is used to decrypt that key and then the key is used for the
files..  That way it is possible to change the user-supplied password
without having to re-encode all files.  I haven't yet supplied a utility
to change the password though.

cheers,
