regtest.cpp is where ciphers register by name. The library has added a number of ciphers over the last couple of years and the source file has experienced bloat. Most of the ARM and MIPS test borads were suffering Out of Memory (OOM) kills as the compiler processed the source fille and the included header files.
This won't stop the OOM kills, but it will help the situation. An early BeagleBoard with 512 MB of RAM is still going to have trouble, but it can be worked around by building with 1 make job as opposed to 2 or 4.
This is the reference implementation, test data and test vectors from the ARIA.zip package on the KISA website. The website is located at http://seed.kisa.or.kr/iwt/ko/bbs/EgovReferenceList.do?bbsId=BBSMSTR_000000000002.
We have optimized routines that improve Key Setup and Bulk Encryption performance, but they are not being checked-in at the moment. The ARIA team is updating its implementation for contemporary hardware and we would like to use it as a starting point before we wander too far away from the KISA implementation.
