Use do shell script and hdiutil

Sample script posted on MacScripter for creating an encrypted disk image:


set desktop_path to ((path to desktop) as string)
set file_name to "encrypted.dmg"
set volume_name to "Encypted Disk"
set volume_size to "5m" --megabytes
do shell script "hdiutil create " & (quoted form of POSIX path of
(desktop_path & file_name)) & ¬
     " -encryption -volname " & (quoted form of volume_name) & ¬
     " -size " & volume_size & " -fs HFS+ -attach"
