XX= TEA & Block TEA have weaknesses, but XTEA should be simple enough &=
fast enough for an embedded system.

I am after some very simple public key encryption code which I= intend to use to
encrypt the md5 of a license file on an embedded syste= m - so in needs to be
really small and simple.

I am tempeted to use the plan9 RSA code= , but is there somthing else even simpler
about? Perhaps less secure tha= n RSA but stronger than a password embedded in
the code, XORed with 0xde= adbeef :-)

Anyone seen anything on the net?
