A method for data verification is provided. An input block of data is
received together with a modulo-based input error detection code
associated with the input block, the input block comprising a plurality
of sub-blocks. A subset of the sub-blocks is selected to be included in
an output block. An error correction term is determined based on the
selected subset. The selected subset of the sub-blocks is concatenated
together with the input error detection code and the error correction
term to generate an output block for conveyance to a destination
processor.
