An approach is provided for providing security mechanism for proximity-based interactions among devices. At least one first device (e.g., a memory tag) may determine a request for interaction between the at least one first device and at least one second device (e.g., a mobile phone), wherein at least the at least one first device is associated with at least one first antenna and at least one second antenna. The at least one first device may determine a first signal received by the at least one first antenna and a second signal received by the at least one second antenna. Further, the at least one first device may determine one or more differences in one or more characteristics of the first signal and the second signal. Furthermore, the at least one first device may process and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more differences to determine whether to allow the interaction.

1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following: at least one determination of a request for interaction
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following: at least one determination of a request for interaction between at least one first device and at least one second device, wherein at least the at least one first device is associated with at least one first antenna and at least one second antenna;at least one determination of a first signal received by the at least one first antenna and a second signal received by the at least one second antenna;at least one determination of one or more differences in one or more characteristics of the first signal and the second signal; anda processing of the one or more differences to determine whether to allow the interaction. 2. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics include, at least in part, one or more signal phases, one or more signal amplitudes, one or more powers, one or more S/N ratios, or a combination thereof, andwherein the interaction between the devices includes one or more of reading, transferring, sending, and writing of data from and/or to the respective devices. 3. A method of claim 1, wherein the first signal and the second signal include one or more data signals, one or more power signals, one or more reference signals, or a combination thereof,wherein the first signal and the second signal are characterized as having one or more differences between the first signal and the second signal in the one or more data signals, the power signals, the reference signals or the combinations thereof, andwherein the differences are based on one or more of phase, power, amplitude and S/N ratio of the first signal and second signal. 4. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following: one or more comparisons of the one or more differences to one or more threshold values; anda discontinuation of the interaction based, at least in part, on the one or more comparisons. 5. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following: a presentation of a user interface comprising one or more indicators, one or more messages, or a combination thereof for providing instructing information, status information, or a combination thereof on the interaction. 6. A method of claim 1, wherein the interaction includes a near field communication protocol. 7. A method of claim 1, wherein the at least one first device, the at least one second device, or a combination thereof is associated with a wireless memory tag, with a universal local storage, with a passive device, with an active device, or a combination thereof. 8. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following: an estimation of a distance between the at least one first device and the at least one second device based, at least in part, on the one or more differences; andat least one determination of whether to allow the interaction based, at least in part, on the distance. 9. A method of claim 8, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following: a presentation of a user interface comprising one or more indicators, one or more messages, or a combination thereof for providing directional information for, at least, locating the at least one first device, the at least one second device, or a combination thereof. 10. A method of claim 9, wherein the at least one first device, the at least one second device, or a combination thereof utilize the one or more indicators, the one or more messages, or a combination thereof for interacting with one or more other devices to perform one or more tasks associated with one or more gaming applications, one or more entertainment applications, one or more educational applications, or a combination thereof. 11. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; andat least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,determine a request for interaction between at least one first device and at least one second device, wherein at least the at least one first device is associated with at least one first antenna and at least one second antenna;determine a first signal received by the at least one first antenna and a second signal received by the at least one second antenna;determine one or more differences in one or more characteristics of the first signal and the second signal; andprocess and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more differences to determine whether to allow the interaction. 12. An apparatus of claim 11, wherein the one or more characteristics include, at least in part, one or more signal phases, one or more signal amplitudes, one or more powers, one or more S/N ratios, or a combination thereof, andwherein the interaction between the devices includes one or more of reading, transferring, sending, and writing of data from and/or to the respective devices. 13. An apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first signal and the second signal include one or more data signals, one or more power signals, one or more reference signals, or a combination thereof,wherein the first signal and the second signal are characterized as having one or more differences between the first signal and the second signal in the one or more data signals, the power signals, the reference signals or the combinations thereof, andwherein the differences are based on one or more of phase, power, amplitude and S/N ratio of the first signal and second signal. 14. An apparatus of claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: cause, at least in part, one or more comparisons of the one or more differences to one or more threshold values; andcause, at least in part, a discontinuation of the interaction based, at least in part, on the one or more comparisons. 15. An apparatus of claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: cause, at least in part, a presentation of a user interface comprising one or more indicators, one or more messages, or a combination thereof for providing instructing information, status information, or a combination thereof on the interaction. 16.
