The complete scheme can be described by a couple of compact formulae that offer several interesting time-space trade-offs (number of rounds/key-size for constant security). In practice, xmx appears to be tiny and fast: 136 code bytes and a 121 kbit/s throughput on a Siemens SLE44CR80s smart-card (5 MHz oscillator)text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
