You might want to look at SOBER, at http://www.home.aone.net.au/qualcomm ,
(design paper and source code) which was designed to have a very small
footprint for mobile phone applications. Basically, 54 bytes of RAM, 512
bytes of tables, and <512 bytes of code on most CPUs. It's a stream cipher
with two level keying.
Note that we reserve the right to license it for embedded applications. If
you are interested, we might need to talk about that; our current intent is
to license it for no royalty, but I can't promise.
We have ARM cores in our new phones ;-)
Greg.
