I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).

The issue has been opened 6 years ago.

![Message posted on the GitHub issue titled "Manual key verification":
"This issue has been opened for more than 6 years now, with no clear roadmap or even real consideration from the Tuta team. I have to say, I am disappointed.
You keep saying that "[...] Tuta [is] the most secure email service on the market.", but without key verification, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted emails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipients' public key. As explained by @llebout, "all users of Tutanota must trust Tutanota to not provide forged keys and perform an MITM attack". This is a significant flaw in the technical design of the platform, and it does not seem to bother you.
In #198, it can be read that:
> We are aware of the issues with verification, new protocol will support verification, the work is underway
However, your post-quantum implementation has now landed but still no word on the key verification issue.
Could you please stand by what you have said from day 1, that you prioritise security and privacy, and establish a clear roadmap of the work already undertaken or to be done to fix the situation?

rPGP is an #OpenPGP implementation in pure #Rust (crates.io/crates/pgp).
It serves as the end-to-end encryption engine for Delta Chat:
@delta, a secure decentralized messager for all major platforms (and then some).
rPGP implements all generations of the OpenPGP standard, up to and including the new RFC 9580.
I somehow just learned about the IETF's "Privacy Pass" working group, along with Google and Apple's respective implementations ("Private State Tokens", "Private Access Tokens"), and I'm so damn tired of DRM being the answer to everything.
Mozilla wrote a blog post in December of 2023 about why they decided not to implement it:
blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-se…
...and the IETF has a page to track the working group's drafts:

The arrest of #Telegram's founder Pavel #Durov sets a dangerous precedent for what kind of action can be taken against supporters of #privacy & #cryptography.

Post Quantum Cryptography: Why We Need Resistant Encryption NOW.
Quantum-resistant or post-quantum cryptography is our best bet against attacks from upcoming quantum computers to increase security and privacy.Tutanota
After #AI, quantum computers will be next big thing in tech.
And they'll be able to break currently used email #encryption.
Plus, the NSA already uses "harvest now, decrypt later" strategies.
That's why we at Tuta are working on post-quantum #cryptography. 🔒💪

In an era of quantum computing "arms race", it is time to transition to quantum-safe systems.
Tutanota is well ahead of the race: We already have a working prototype with post-quantum secure encryption. Stay tuned for future updates! 🤓💪

Small Web sites will require JavaScript to sign in.
Why?
To protect your privacy.
We use public-key authentication (which I’m implementing as we speak) so your secret is never stored on the server and you only enter it in places you own and control.
(I can already see some folks up in arms about this because JavaScript Bad™ so I just checked in the initial copy for the page that gets displayed if JavaScript is off.)

I'd like to find a community of other people in #tech, maybe people who are interested in talking about things like #cloud alternatives, #cryptography, or #softwaredev processes (like #agile, I guess), #programming. I haven't found too much of that on here. Point me at the good discussions and knowledge sharing, if you know where it is!
Look, software isn't everything, and I'm sure I'll get into some other stuff on here, but the above is what I haven't found yet.
