Claim:
1. A method for managing security in a mobile communication system supporting an emergency call, the method comprising: determining, by a mobility management entity (MME), whether or not a user equipment (UE) performs a handover procedure from a source network to a target network during the emergency call; and transmitting, by the MME, a message including a security capability related to the emergency call to the source network, if the UE performs the handover procedure from the source network to the target network during the emergency call, wherein the security capability related to the emergency call includes evolved packet system (EPS) integrity algorithm 0 (EIA0) as an integrity algorithm and EPS encryption algorithm 0 (EEA0) as a security algorithm, wherein the security capability related to the emergency call is included in a non access stratum (NAS) security transparent container, and wherein the security capability related to the emergency call is used in a location update procedure of the UE after the handover procedure is completed.
