An apparatus for recognizing a failure in a cryptographic unit, wherein the cryptographic unit includes a determinator for determining an input control signal and an output control signal, with the determinator being formed to determine the input control signal on the basis of an encryption of an input control signal parity of a group of input signals or an input signal of the group of input signals with an encryption number and to determine the output control signal on the basis of an encryption of an output control signal parity of a group of the output signals or an output signal of the group of output signals with the encryption number. Furthermore, the apparatus for recognizing includes an evaluator for evaluating the input control signal and the output control signal to recognize a failure of the cryptographic unit on the basis of a comparison between the input control signal and the output control signal. |
