1. A method, comprising:

  • detecting, by a microprocessor, a first touch and a simultaneous second touch on an electronic device;

    determining, by the microprocessor, a first finger with which the first touch is associated and a second finger with which the second touch is associated;

    detecting, by the microprocessor, a pattern of motion of the first touch and the second touch;

    determining, by the microprocessor and based on the detected pattern of motion, whether the detected pattern of motion corresponding to the first touch and the second touch is not physically achievable with fingers of a same hand; and

    allowing or denying, by the microprocessor, a function of the electronic device based on the determining whether the detected pattern of motion corresponding to the first touch and the second touch is not physically achievable with fingers of the same hand.
