1. A device for processing data for data protection, the device comprising: an input interface to receive input data including a temporal sequence of input data words; an encoding unit to encode each input data word received at the input interface to obtain a corresponding encoded data word; and a processing module to process each encoded data word to produce a corresponding processed data word, wherein measured values of a physical property of the device characterize the processing of the encoded data words performed by the processing module, and the encoding unit encodes the input data words so that a specifiable proportion equal to at least 50% of all measured values exhibit a difference from a setpoint value that is less than or equal to a specifiable threshold value.
