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