Abstract

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus, comprising at least one receiver configured to receive a first software build information and at least one transmitter configured to send a computer program, wherein the computer program is based at least in part on the first software build information and a second software build information, is disclosed.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one receiver configured to receive a first software build information; and

at least one transmitter configured to send a computer program, wherein said computer program is based at least in part on said first software build information and a second software build information.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a processor configured to perform a software build based at least in part on said first software build information and based at least in part on said second software build information to generate said computer program.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said at least one receiver is operable over the internet.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said at least one transmitter is operable over the internet.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least part of said second software build information comprises confidential information.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising memory for storing said second software build information.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said receiving of said first software build information is performed in a non-secure zone.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said receiving of said first software build information is performed in a semi-secure zone.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second software build information is stored at least in part in a secure zone.

16. The method of claim 7, wherein said sending comprises notifying a user.

10. A method, comprising:

receiving a first software build information; and

sending a computer program, wherein said computer program is based at least in part on said first software build information and a second software build information.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising performing a software build based at least in part on said first software build information and at least in part on said second software build information.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said receiving comprises receiving said first software build information over the internet.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein said sending comprises sending said computer program over the internet.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein said second software build information comprises confidential information.

15. The method of claim 10, further comprising retrieving said second software build information from a memory.

17. The method of claim 10, further comprising sending build completion information.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein said sending comprises sending an email.

19. The method of claim 10, wherein said sending comprises performing a file download.

20. The method of claim 10, wherein said sending is performed by an interface server.

21. The method of claim 10, wherein said receiving is performed by an interface server.

22. The method of claim 10, wherein said receiving of said first software build information is performed in a non-secure zone.

23. The method of claim 10, wherein said receiving of said first software build information is performed in a semi-secure zone.

24. The method of claim 10, wherein said second software build information is stored at least in part in a secure zone.

25. A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:

code for receiving a first software build information; and

code for sending a computer program, wherein said computer program is based at least in part on said first software build information and a second software build information.

26. The computer program product of claim 25, further comprising code for performing a software build based at least in part on said first software build information and based at least part on said second software build information.

27. The computer program product of claim 25, wherein said receiving comprises receiving said first software build information over the internet.

28. The computer program product of claim 25, wherein said sending comprises sending said second build information over the internet.

29. The computer program product of claim 25, wherein said second software build information comprises confidential information.

30. The computer program product of claim 25, further comprising code for retrieving said second software build information from a memory.

31. The computer program product of claim 25, wherein said sending comprises notifying a user.

32. The computer program product of claim 25, further comprising code for sending build completion information.
