NSA Patents Available for License
There’s a new article on NSA’s Technology Transfer Program, a 1990s-era program to license NSA patents to private industry. I was pretty dismissive about the offerings in the article, but I didn’t find anything interesting in the catalog. Does anyone see something I missed?
My guess is that the good stuff remains classified, and isn’t “transferred” to anyone.
Slashdot thread.

I am highly skeptical whether they will actually release the actual technology or at most release just parts of the stuff they promised or even worse, release a modified “civilian” version that might contain nasty stuff inside.
