You can try TEA (http://vader.brad.ac.uk/tea/tea.shtml). It's simple and
fast. It doesn´t require extra memory or tables, and there is no setup
time. 64bits blocks and 128bits keys.

Anybody knows about TEA cryptoanalisys (I already read the paper about
modified TEA)?. It´s safe enough?. I'm developing a distributed DB for
ESNET (a spanish IRC network) and it uses TEA for nick registration and
database integrity check.

Any pointer?
