Tutanota makes encryption easy VS Leaflet

Hi HN, we are the developers from Tuta (formerly Tutanota), the German end-to-end encrypted email provider, and we recently released the world's first post-quantum encryption for email.

We have included a full technical write-up of the cryptography involved in these changes and we have released it for open public review.

This document specifies TutaCrypt, a protocol designed for hybrid email encryption in Tuta Mail. The protocol combines a classical Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellman key exchange with a post-quantum KEM. The goal is to replace the usage of RSA in Tuta Mail.

In the remainder of this document we describe some preliminaries such as the cryptographic primitives used. We define the core algorithms of the protocol and describe the flow of messages between the communicating parties. Finally, we discuss the security properties and some limitations of the protocol in its current form.

We are eager for your constructive feedback. All cryptography related source code is available for review and experimenting here: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/blob/master/src/api/worker...

If you have any questions or comments related to post-quantum cryptography please let us know in the comments!

Tutanota - Free secure email account service provider with built-in end-to-end encryption, no ads, no tracking. Free 1GB storage. Which is also partially open source, so you can self-host.

You are probably using a window manager and Electron is not able to detect the secret service backend you have installed. We recently switched to Electron’s built in api for storing credentials, which is the reason for this issue. https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/6265

Tuta Mail (version 3.119.3): Encrypted email & calendar service - easy to use, secure by design.

A look at tuta.com and tutanota.com demonstrates that Tuta is using an Amazon Start of Authority (SOA) DNS record and 4 corresponding Amazon Name Server (NS) DNS records.

rich coming from tuta who still lack a onion based login. this ticket from 2018 was locked as off-topic. https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/528

as lenin said, the best way to control the opposition is to lead it. for me, unless the company has been raided by the government they simply cannot be trusted.

apple proudly advertises privacy billboards while sharing everything they are asked under shadow laws. absolute hypocrisy and double standards. but then they wouldnt be where they are without government money and favours.

Have a non business paid account. Can you change your current tutanota.com email to the tuta.com email?

I have an at tutanota.com account. All of a sudden, this evening, it disconnected and I haven't been able to re-access my account. It actually seems like the whole platform is down, but maybe that's just the context from my devices.

I have a fairly recent free account that I believe was on the domain tutanota.com which I can no longer log into.

9. Leaflet

Leaflet is the most famous open-source map library, with lots of plugins. 2 of them are used to animate a marker on the map:

Leaflet stands out as one of the top open source JavaScript libraries for crafting interactive maps. Optimized for both mobile and web devices, it is relatively small (around 42KB) and offers a ton of features, plugins, and a straightforward API. It works across all browsers and platforms.

Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).

Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.

As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.

Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.

Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

For a personal project, I had to use Leaflet with Svelte, and I faced some problems during development.

Do anyone have any workaround on how to get leaflet js to work inside notion, either as an embed or as code, or widget? https://leafletjs.com/

None of those things are what most in the GIS space would consider "complex", so you could go with any of the options you selected. For lightweight maps, I like Leaflet

https://leafletjs.com

I have a special place in my heart for Leaflet and it’s documentation: https://leafletjs.com

Its suppose to be free: like with map data providers there's Leaflet, OpenStreet Maps and many more which are all for free.
