### Tiny AES128 in C
-This is a small portable implementation of AES128 in C. 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.

The implementation is verified against the data in:

-Note: AES128 ECB is symmetric, so you use the same function for encrypting and decrypting.
