 ### Tiny AES in C
 
-This is a small and portable implementation of the AES ECB, CTR and CBC encryption algorithms written in C.
+This is a small and portable implementation of the AES [ECB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Electronic_Codebook_.28ECB.29), [CTR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Counter_.28CTR.29) and [CBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Cipher_Block_Chaining_.28CBC.29) encryption algorithms written in C.
 
 You can override the default block-size of 128 bit with 192 or 256 bit by defining the symbols AES192 or AES256 in `aes.h`.
