Software and/or computing hardware development security through permission profile assessment of a retrieval request for a design dependency tree based on a unique identifier such as an ip address

A system for software and computing hardware development security, the system comprising:

• a coordination server comprising:
• a request agent comprising computer readable instructions that when executed receive a request for retrieval of a dependency tree of a version of a component from a client device associated with a unique identifier of the client device comprising an IP address, the request comprising a unique identifier of the version of the component as a root version of the dependency tree,
• an authentication module comprising computer readable instructions that when executed validate an asserted identity of the client device;
• a design server comprising computer readable instructions that when executed:
• follow a first dependency reference stored in a computer memory from the root version to a version of a first sub-component of the component;
• a security server comprising computer readable instructions that when executed:
• extract a permission profile associated with the unique identifier of the client device comprising the IP address, and
• determine the version of the first sub-component of the component has a positive authorization status for read access through a database association between the unique identifier of the first sub-component and the unique identifier of the client device comprising the IP address,
• wherein the coordination server further comprising computer readable instructions that when executed return a restricted tree data comprising the unique identifier of the root version and a unique identifier of the version of the first sub-component;
• a file server comprising computer readable instructions that when executed:
• retrieve one or more workfiles associated with the restricted tree data from a file repository, and
• return the one or more workfiles to the client device for assembly of a restricted instance of a design workspace;
• and
• a network communicatively coupling the coordination server, the design server, the security server, and the file server.

A computer readable media comprising computer executable instructions that when executed:

• receive a request for retrieval of a dependency tree of a version of a component from a client device, the request comprising an IP address associated with a client device generating the request and the request further comprising a unique identifier of the version of the component as a root version of the dependency tree,
• validate an asserted identity of the client device;
• extract a permission profile associated with the profile;
• follow a first dependency reference stored in a computer memory from the root version to a version of a first sub-component of the component;
• determine the version of the first sub-component of the component has a positive authorization status for read access through a database association between a unique identifier of the first sub-component and the IP address;
• return a restricted tree data comprising the unique identifier of the root version and a unique identifier of the version of the first sub-component;
• retrieve one or more workfiles associated with the restricted tree data from a file repository;
• and
• return the one or more workfiles to the client device for assembly of a restricted instance of a design workspace.
