  • receiving a request from a software application to access a resource in a computer file system using a requested path;

    identifying, by a hardware processor, a first element in the requested path;

    comparing, by the hardware processor, the first element with a plurality of nodes in a first level of the tree data structure to identify an exact match;

    if the hardware processor does not identify an exact match between the first element and one of the plurality of nodes in the first level of the tree data structure, comparing the first element with at least one mask node in the first level of the tree data structure to identify a match by mask; and

    if the hardware processor does not identify a match by mask between the first element and one of the at least one mask nodes in the first level of the tree data structure, determining that the requested path is not in the tree data structure.
