I 'fixed' (since stty -echo didn't work) the password echo problem using this trick:

added echo -n -e "Enter password: \033[40;30m" before the
$CRYPTCMD $PARAMS create $dst $src ... line
and echo -n -e "\033[40;37m" after it

it sets the fore+background color to black/black using an ansi color escape sequence and restores it to white/black using the same method afterwards

not nice but works for me
