Attestation and authentication for communication sessions between devices

An apparatus of a first device for communications, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, from a second device, a request to initiate a communication session between the second device and the first device wherein the request includes caller attestation information corresponding to a user of the second device, the caller attestation information determined by the second device based on information obtained from one or more sensors included in the second device;
• determine an authentication result corresponding to the request to initiate the communication session, the authentication result determined based on comparing the caller attestation information included in the request with authentication configuration information associated with a user of the first device;
• and
• configure the communication session between the second device and the first device based on the authentication result, wherein configuring the communication session includes processing one or more inputs corresponding to biometric information of the user of the first device based on the authentication result.

An apparatus for communications, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain one or more inputs corresponding to a user of a first device, wherein the one or more inputs comprise sensor data obtained from one or more sensors of the first device;
• generate caller attestation information based on the sensor data of the one or more inputs, wherein the caller attestation information is indicative of one or more detected attestation features corresponding to the user of the first device and represented within the sensor data, and wherein the one or more detected attestation features are included in a configured plurality of attestation features;
• transmit, to a second device, a request to initiate a communication session between the first device and the second device, wherein the request includes the caller attestation information;
• and
• receive, from the second device and during the communication session, biometric information of a user of the second device, wherein the biometric information is received based on a successful authentication of the caller attestation information by the second device.
