Abstract
In the current cloud environments, the applications are executed on the remote cloud server, and they also utilize computing resources of the remote cloud server such as physical memory and CPU. Therefore, if remote server is exposed to security threat, every applications in remote server can be victim by several security-attacks. Especially, despite many advantages, both individuals and businesses often have trouble to start the cloud services according to the malicious administrator of the cloud server. We propose a security-enhanced local process executing scheme resolving vulnerability of current cloud computing environments. Since secret data is stored in the local, we can protect secret data from security threats of the cloud server. By utilizing computing resource of local computer instead of remote server, high-secure processes can be set free from vulnerability of remote server.
