An article of manufacture, for example, a product or portion of a product produced by an IP design house which, when manufactured, causes random failures in a counterfeit integrated circuit. The article of manufacture ( 520 ) is a "genetic code" that comprises all of the necessary functional information needed to build an electronic circuit. This article of manufacture, when processed in a computer-aided design system and/or a fabrication facility, generates a functional apparatus such as an anti-counterfeiting circuit.
