Apparatus and method for certification of software within virtual integration environments

A method for certification of software within virtual integration environments, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least a processor, a software package for deployment;
• determining, by the at least a processor, one or more recipients of the software package, wherein the software package includes a design assurance level classification;
• receiving, by the at least a processor, operation data from each system associated with the one or more recipients;
• selecting, by the at least a processor, one or more operating environments as a function of the software package and the one or more recipients, wherein each operating environment of the one or more operating environments comprises a virtual representation of a system associated with each recipient of the one or more recipients, wherein the virtual representation further includes a simulated avionics system, and wherein selecting the one or more operating environments further comprises modifying one or more parameters of the virtual representation as a function of the operation data to generate a recipient-specific calibrated virtual integration environment;
• executing, by the at least a processor, the software package within the one or more operating environments;
• recording a performance datum of the software package based on the execution;
• certifying, by the at least a processor, the software package for each operating environment of the one or more operating environments based on the execution of the software package, wherein certifying the software package further comprises:
• retrieving a plurality of preconfigured thresholds based on the design assurance level classification;
• selecting a preconfigured threshold of the plurality of preconfigured thresholds as a function of the one or more operating environments;
• comparing the performance datum to the preconfigured threshold;
• and
• certifying the software package based on the comparison;
• generating, for each operating environment, a cryptographic hash of the software package and configuration data defining the recipient-specific calibrated virtual integration environment;
• binding a digital certificate to the cryptographic hash and to the design assurance level classification;
• and
• transmitting, by the at least a processor and using a delay tolerant network, the certified software package and the digital certificate to the one or more recipients.
