1. A method of authenticating a fingerprint by aggregating samples on a digital touch screen comprising:
- capturing multiple data samples of a finger swipe across the touch screen, wherein the touch screen is used both for fingerprint recognition and manipulation of a user interface;
utilizing a processor to aggregate the multiple data samples to form a combined sample fingerprint of the finger; and
responsive to detecting the combined sample fingerprint matching a predetermined allowed fingerprint, providing a signal indicating the fingerprint is authentic;
wherein at least one of the multiple data samples is not aggregated based on a detected improper finger wipe.
