Block ciphers: AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197)
Architecture: arm
On ARM processors without the Crypto Extensions, this is the
fastest AES implementation for single blocks. For multiple
blocks, the NEON bit-sliced implementation is usually faster.
This implementation may be vulnerable to cache timing attacks,
since it uses lookup tables. However, as countermeasures it
disables IRQs and preloads the tables; it is hoped this makes
such attacks very difficult.
