The Turing machine, a hypothetical device that is the basis of all modern computing, was conceptualized by Alan M. Turing, who was one of the primary geniuses in GC&CS,the Government Code and Cypher School, Britain's magnificent code-breaking organization at Bletchley Park in WW2. Fleming worked with GC&CS too, and devised some cloak-and-dagger schemes for obtaining information about Germany's encryption practices (keylists, especially). Fleming really was a secret agent.
Fleming wasn't associated with the Turing machine, but he was (loosely) associated with Turing.
