Abstract
The biggest feature of the online environment is anonymity. So it is difficult to identify the sender accurately in Email. So we use PGP to enhance the security of email. PGP is an e-mail encryption program that has become the standard for email security worldwide. But PGP has a weak point in security. PGP can identify users, but it is difficult to verify reliability. In PGP, the more reliable other users guarantee that user are, the more reliable they are. In the previous study, the PGP structure was implemented by utilizing the block chain to lay the foundation, and in this paper, the structure of the previous article is applied to the e-mail environment to measure up the sender's reliability, and a system is proposed that allows users to distinguish the reliability of the message.
