Abstract

A data processing system and method of operating such a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system comprises an interface for communication between a first module and a second module and compensation parameter storage to store at least one stored compensation parameter for application in operation of the interface and representing an expected physical state of the interface. Measurement circuitry measures a current physical state of the interface and generates at least one measured compensation parameter which is dependent on that current physical state. Monitoring circuitry receives the at least one measured compensation parameter and compares it against at least one stored compensation parameter representing the expected physical state of the interface and may initiate a defensive response in the system when the at least one measured compensation parameter differs by more than a threshold difference from the at least one stored compensation parameter. The security of the data processing system is thereby improved.
