Abstract
Multiple computer systems each include at least one EDA tool that performs certain EDA functions. Each computer system also includes source code of a design with the names of source code elements and an encoding module that generates unique identifiers for the source code elements according to a specific encoding algorithm. The encoding module identifies each source code element included in the source code. For each source code element, the encoding module generates a unique identifier by applying the encoding algorithm to the name of the element. When electronic design information is going to be transmitted to another computer system and the electronic design information includes source code elements, the encoding module encodes the information by replacing each source code element with the unique identifier generated for the element.
