How is it possible to encrypt the harddisk so that a USB-stick can function as a "key" to unlock the boot process?

Cases:

Computer is being switched on
USB-stick (with some keyfile) is present
System boots


OR


Computer is being switched on
No USB-stick present
System doesn't boot (or asks for a password)
