Abstract

The one of the biggest challenges in using e-mail is that it is difficult to filter out unconfirmed senders. Therefore, in this study, an email group authentication API was designed using blockchain technology, which has been widely used as an authentication method. As the proposed model, the node-node weighting index was obtained through the relationship association network, and after designing the email reliability model, the reliability calculation model of the Rotten Tomato method was obtained. Based on this, the system structure was designed, chain code methods were defined, and API was developed. Through this study, it is expected that it will be used in various fields requiring authentication as well as email user authentication, and it is expected that the relationship of group authentication can be proved by allowing a large number of users to use the API in the future.

이메일을 사용하는데 있어서 가장 큰 애로사항으로 확인되지 않은 발신자를 걸러내기 힘들다는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최근 인증 수단으로 많이 활용되고 있는 블록체인 기술을 활용하여 이메일 집단 인증 API를 설계하였다. 제안한 모델로는 관계 연관성 네트워크를 통하여 노드-노드 가중치 지수를 구하였고, 이메일 신뢰도 모형을 설계한 후 Rotten Tomato 방식의 신뢰도 계산 모델을 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 시스템 구조를 설계하고, 체인 코드 메소드를 정의한 후 API를 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 이메일 사용자 인증 뿐만 아니라 인증이 필요한 다양한 분야에서 활용할 것으로 기대할 수 있으며, 향후 많은 수의 사용자를 대상으로 API를 사용하게 하여 집단 인증의 관계성을 증명할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
