Abstract
Verifying the functionality of an integrated circuit, the integrated circuit being operable for processing a data packet thereby generating a data processing result. A data packet to be processed is evaluated to determine if the data packet is an erroneous data packet. If the data packet is identified as an erroneous data packet, a modified data packet is generated by modifying the erroneous data packet and providing the modified data packet to the integrated circuit. A determination is made as to whether the data processing result comprises the modification; and a malfunction of the integrated circuit is signaled, if the data processing result comprises the modification.
