Abstract(in English) In Web hosting services, hosting systems use access controls like suEXEC on apache Web servers to separate privilege by each virtual host. However, existing access control architectures on Web servers have a problem in their low performance and are not appropriate for dynamic contents like Web API since these architectures require termination of the process after each HTTP session. The system developers are not easy to install existing access controls since these are provided by each interpreter and program execution methods conventionally. In this paper, we propose the access control architecture "mod_process_security". In this architecture a server process creates a new thread on the server process when accepting a request. Then, the web server separates privilege by the thread and processes the contents on the thread. The server process installed "mod_process_security" executes programs faster. System developers can easily install it on web servers since we replace it with the complicated existing access controls. "mod_process_security" can be installed for Apache HTTP Server on Linux as Apache Module which is widely used.
