Key capabilities
Tuta encrypts emails automatically between users, covering subjects, bodies, and attachments. External recipients get password-protected links. Contacts and calendars receive the same treatment, ensuring only sender and recipient access data. This zero-knowledge setup means Tuta cannot read user content.
TutaCrypt protects against future quantum computer threats. The protocol combines Kyber-1024 for key exchange, X25519, and AES-256. New accounts use it now; older ones follow soon. This forward-thinking approach sets Tuta apart in long-term security.
Native clients run on web, Android (Google Play and F-Droid), iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. A unified app handles email, calendar, and contacts. Features include unlimited search via encrypted indexes (premium), 25 MB attachments, HTML signatures, and offline support. Standalone calendar launched in 2024.
