COMPONENT DESIGN SECURITY THROUGH RESTRICTION OF A DESIGN COMPONENT DEPENDENCY TREE

摘要

Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of component design security through restriction of a design component dependency tree. In one embodiment, a request for retrieval of a dependency tree of a root version of a component is processed. A client device is authenticated, and a permission profile is extracted. Unique identifier of the root version and each version of the dependency tree is compared to the permission profile of the user and/or a security profile to determine an authorization status for each. Dependency reference following is terminated at unauthorized versions to result in a terminated branch of the dependency tree. Unique identifier of the authorized version are stored in a restricted tree data to result in a continuing branch of the dependency tree. The restricted tree data of the root version is returned to the client device for retrieving workfiles to generate a design workspace.
