How to use AES or DES algorithm on SliTaz 4.0 or Haiku
Sorry, but, I missed that I should include the programming environment: I want to use AES or DES in C++ or Python.

Bordering on off topic, Ivan, I am assuming that you want to program an application using DES or AES for my answer. – Maarten Bodewes Mar 30 '14 at 09:35

Install OpenSSL. It's one of the most used (and more importantly, reviewed and certified) cryptographic libraries and should not take too much space. Then you can use the C interface to create your application.
Installation for Haiku: https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/building/optional-package
Installation for SliTaz: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=openssl
For more information about building/integration please use forums of the separate operating systems.
Update after C++ and Python were added as targets:
You can use openssl for your C++ needs, C libraries should be relatively easy to use from C++. Alternatively, for a more C++ oriented library, you may try and use Botan.
Python already has AES and DES support in the PyCrypto libraries, so it does not need much else.
Disclaimer: None of these libs have my personal preference or have been tested in any way by me.
