This is a small portable (and slow?) implementation of AES128 in C.

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

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.


GCC size output when compiled for ARM:

$ arm-none-eabi-gcc -Os -c aes.c -o aes.o
$ size aes.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1079	      0	    204	   1283	    503	aes.o
