The paper is design and implementation of the system to support security communication between a Web Browser and a CGI program by a Web Server using PKI(Public Key Infrastructure. This system uses GSS(Generic Security Service)-API to communicate with PKI, offers a Web user a Client Proxy, and offers a CGI developer there library functions related with security. TLS(Transport Layer Security) supports security communication between a Web Browser and a Web Server, but the system supports security communication between a Web Browser and a CGI program as the protected data received from a Client Proxy are sent to a CGI program, and the CGI program decrypts the data using the library functions supported by this system.
