For padding [PKCS7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography)#PKCS7) is recommendable. * ECB mode is considered unsafe for most uses and is not implemented in streaming mode. If you need this mode, call the function for every block of 16 bytes you need encrypted. See [wikipedia's article on ECB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Electronic_Codebook_(ECB)) for more details. - * This library is not super fast. It is intended for portability and small size, not high speed. OpenSSL for example, is probably much faster. + * This library is designed for small code size and simplicity, intended for cases where small binary size, low memory footprint and portability is more important than high performance. If speed is a concern, you can try more complex libraries, e.g. [Mbed TLS](https://tls.mbed.org/), [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/) etc. You can choose to use any or all of the modes-of-operations, by defining the symbols CBC, CTR or ECB. See the header file for clarification. |
