It fascinates me when we ship products in numbers that exceed the number of humans on the planet. The stats you’re giving mean that the average man, woman, and child in the western world probably has a double-digit number of microcontrollers.
Most of them don’t even know they have any at all.
 The Cryptography HandbookSponsored by Maxim Integrated The Cryptography Handbook is designed to be a quick study guide for a product development engineer, taking an engineering rather than theoretical approach. In this series, we start with a general overview and then define the characteristics of a secure cryptographic system. We then describe various cryptographic concepts and provide an implementation-centric explanation of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology. We hope that this approach will give the busy engineer a quick understanding of the basic concepts of cryptography and provide a relatively fast way to integrate security in his/her design.
