This is why eSTREAM’s decision to leave MCU-class software essentially unaddressed puzzles me. What do I use on an 8-bit or 16-bit controller with no wide multiplies and no barrel shifter? Before this (which seems fine if not exactly tiny at first glance), there was... Gimli (with the same caveats)? Speck?
I’m guessing that the chip area of hardware AES is utterly inconsequential compared to all the peripherals you get on a modern micro, but the manufacturers are going to keep charging specialized-applications money for that until we’re all on 32-bit ARMs with multipliers and ChaCha becomes viable.
