Abstract

A method for viewing a plurality of encrypted code displayed within an integrated development environment with a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses. A plurality of user login credentials submitted by a user utilizing the pair of AR glasses to access a plurality of encrypted code. The method may determine the user is authorized to access a portion of the plurality of encrypted code based on the received plurality of user login credentials. The method may further decrypt the portion based on determining the user is authorized to access the portion. The method may further include displaying the decrypted portion on a lens within the pair of AR glasses.
