Abstract

A method and a system for naming-conflict-free integration of software components originating from software component manufacturers (OEM), comprising software development devices from different software component manufacturers (OEM) that manufacture and encrypt software components with the respective cryptographic key, wherein when a naming conflict occurs during the integration of encrypted software components, at least one of the encrypted software components in which the naming conflict occurred is expanded by a naming conflict resolution rule to thereby allows for the resolution of naming conflicts in encrypted software components that can originate from different software component manufacturers without the source code of the software components becoming visible to third parties.
