Open source (pref) assymetric crypto C library for ARM Cortex M3 ?

Hi,

Question as title :  I have an existing product that has an ARM Cortex M3 CPU and which I need to retrofit with assymetric crypto to send small amounts of encrypted data.  The CPU I am landed with doen't have a crypto module available and cannot be changed so I need a C library that can do assymetric crypto (key exchange etc) and still run, even if slowly) in a restricted memory space on a small ARM CPU.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Mike

Comes as source code, but not open source.

axTLS library (http://axtls.sourceforge.net/) or maybe its inclusion in
ethernut
sourceforge /p/ethernut/code/trunk/nut/crypto
and www.ethernut.de

"Small" is a relative term.  Likewise, how secure do you need the crypto
functions?

Tried sci.crypt for guidance as to algorithms appropriate for your data
and environment?  And Schneier's text is an excellent place from which
to extract ideas/algorithms.

Have you looked at things like sshd(8) to see what you might be able to lift
from the sources?

(And, you may wish to consider the consequences when/if exploits are
"made known" for any approach you take -- will you be able to live
with them?  And/or *patch* ex post factum??)
