If it is to remain encrypted in any moment in time, you should just use
a very complicated password and forget it immediately. Your data should
remain encrypted forever....

If I understand you correctly, you would like to read the file, while it
still is encrypted? How should this possibly work?

If you would like to access your encrypted files one by one (instead of
mounting an encrypted archive) you could encrypt each file separately.
'gpg' (package: gnupg) is one program that could be used for this.

If you use 'cryptsetup', your whole partition (including the file
system) will be encrypted (and remain encrypted all the time). After
issuing the password, all data will be decrypted/encrypted on the fly.

- From what you wrote, it's not fully clear to me, what exactly you try to
achieve.

HTH anyway,

Johannes
