Claim 0:
1. A method for sharing validation information of a software release associated with multiple development stages, the method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, one or more files associated with the software release based on performance of at least a portion of a development process that includes the multiple development stages, where performance of at least the portion of the development process generates data components associated with general development parameters, one or more development stages of the multiple development stages, or a combination thereof;
generating, by the one or more processors and based on a master key accessible to the one or more processors and that operates as a private cryptographic key for a universal artifact repository, a private key and a public key;
for each of the data components:
generating, by the one or more processors, a digital signature based at least in part on the respective data component and the private key; and
adding, by the one or more processors, an entry that includes the digital signature to a secure data structure accessible to one or more node devices, the entry added based on a previous entry in the secure data structure; and

initiating, by the one or more processors, transmission of the data components, the public key, and the one or more files to the one or more node devices.
