In general without being any expert here you will need to encrypt the 
origin device (PV) on which it resides and likely also the PV of the 
cache pool itself. It's no different from any other volume you would 
use.

You can allow LUKS to pass-through discards if you open the volume with 
--allow-discards on the cryptsetup prompt (command).

In case you have an SSD underneath. It was said that the cache itself 
does not utilize discards just yet, but that it was in the planning.
