This is the smallest implementation in C I've seen yet, but if you find something smaller (or have improvements for the code in this project) please contact me or fork the project. +This is a small and portable implementation of the AES128 algorithm implemented in C. +The module uses just a bit more than 200 bytes of RAM and 1K ROM when compiled for ARM (YMMV). +It is the smallest implementation in C I've seen yet, but do contact me if you know of something smaller (or have improvements to the code here). -The code is tested on Intel 64bit, 32bit ARM Cortex-M3 and 8 bit Atmel Mega16. -The module uses just a bit more than 200 bytes of RAM and 1K ROM when compiled for ARM. -YMMV depending on target platform and optimization skills of your compiler. +I've successfully used the code on 64bit x86, 32bit ARM and 8 bit AVR platforms.
