How to mount an encrypted ext3 filesystem under OS X?

I know how to mount an ext3 filesystem in OS X with MacFUSE and fuse-ext2. But how can I mount an encrypted ext3 volume?

Unfortunately there is currently no way to mount unencrypted LVM volumes in OS X, much less LUKS-encrypted volumes.

"You could try OSXCrypt which is ""test-software"" or something like that...

It might wreck your system since it's still underdevelopment. Not sure if you want that.
I believe that it's supposed to let you access LUKS encrypted volumes under OSX. According to their website everything is a no-guarantee basis so if you have important or valuable files on the disk it's better off not trying it.
