Abstract
In currently available mobile devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE)), no authentication occurs at the mobile device to answer an incoming call at the mobile device. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for secure call answering are provided. The apparatus is a first UE. The apparatus receives an incoming call originated from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether the incoming call originated from the second UE is a secure incoming call. The apparatus also receives a secure authentication input upon determining that the incoming call is a secure incoming call. Further, the apparatus determines whether the secure authentication input matches with authentication information upon receiving the secure authentication input. Additionally, the apparatus answers the received secure incoming call originated from the second UE when the received secure authentication input matches the authentication information.
