Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for detecting a fake keypad includes: monitoring outputs of plural magnetic field sensors connected to a keypad; detecting the output of at least one of the magnetic field sensors indicates the presence of a magnetic field; starting, in response to the detecting, a timer; determining the first timer reaches a first threshold while the output of the at least one of the magnetic field sensors still indicates the presence of a magnetic field; in response to the timer reaching the first threshold, determining a number of the magnetic field sensors whose output indicates the presence of a magnetic field equals or exceeds a second threshold; in response to the number of the magnetic field sensors equaling or exceeding the second threshold, determining a security action; and initiating the security action.
