Former NSA director Keith Alexander patenting computer security techniques
Former NSA Director Patenting Computer Security Techniques


	

		
		Former NSA Director Keith Alexander is patenting a variety of techniques to protect computer networks.  We’re supposed to believe that he developed these on his own time and they have nothing to do with the work he did at the NSA, except for the parts where they obviously did and therefore are worth $1 million per month for companies to license.
No, nothing fishy here.
EDITED TO ADD (8/14):  Some more commentary.
