ProtonMail Contacts, which ProtonMail is describing as “the world’s first encrypted contacts manager,” now offers “zero access encryption & digital signature verification”.
There are secure email clients & then there’s Tutanota. The latter claims to automatically encrypt all your data on your device. Your mails as well as your contacts stay private. You can easily communicate with any of your friends end-to-end encrypted. Just how did Tutanota come about & why. This is its story.
Users of the app can interact seamlessly with other networked users from any of the supported platforms, with support for free text messages, videos, photos & files sizes of up to 1.5 MB. Optionally, self-destructing end-to-end encrypted messages can be interchanged.
Both, Google & Yahoo have been working on such an end-to-end encryption facility for email. On Sunday, at the SXSW, Yahoo talked of its progress on this front. Expectations are the encryption plugin could come in by the year-end, but the entire back-end process is complicated.
