Every day we strive to make Tutanota more usable and let it grow into a full-fledged email service so that you can leave other services that spy on your data behind for good. Today - with the help of our users - we've achieved a big step.
When we set out to explore the internet we felt like singing “We are
young, we run free” from the Supergrass song Alright (1995). Actually
back in the 90s we were young, we were free. Unfortunately it turns
out we were green as well. Optimistically we explored all the
possibilities of the internet and we gained a lot from it: knowledge,
friends, fun.
The technology DANE is an SSL extension that makes websites independent of Certificate Authorities and their possibly
bogusly issued SSL certificates. As a forerunner in email security, Tutanota was one of the first email services to
support DANE.
Tutanota uses DANE (DNS-based Authentification of Named Entities). This technology binds the SSL key information to a
domain name (DNS) and protects that binding with DNSSEC. DANE makes Man-in-the-Middle attacks practically impossible.
