Comic:  Person: I JUST DON'T SEE WHY THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS A BACKDOOR TO ALL SOFTWARE. Judge: YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO SORDID. Judge: CONSIDER THIS: YOU'RE WEARING CLOTHES. THAT'S FINE, BUT HOW DO WE KNOW YOU'RE NOT HIDING SOMETHING IN THERE. WE DON'T WANT YOU TO GO WITHOUT CLOTHES, SO WE OFFER A SIMPLE COMPROMISE. Judge: WE MAKE IT SO THAT ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES ARE SEE-THRU ALL THE TIME BUT ONLY FOR A SMALL GROUP OF DISTANT PEOPLE WHOSE IDENTITY AND MOTIVES ARE SECRET TO YOU. Person: THAT ANALOGY JUST MAKES IT SEEM WORSE. Judge: ANALOGY? Source: smbc-comics.com

The post you provided a link to states 61% of all Tuta emails are sent end-to-end encrypted.

What percent of the 61% are sent between Tuta users?

What percent of the 61% are sent via a shared password with recipients using a different email provider?

@blueghost Haven't looked at the numbers recently, but in the past ~96% internal & ~4% external.

@blueghost thx for sharing these numbers. On your security page you list that email adresses are not encrypted. Is this a correct understanding. The minimum metadata for email to work is stored in plaintext , or is it just encrypted at rest? How do search work?

@andreasio @blueghost Correct, email addresses need to be available for emails to be delivered. However, we encrypt all data of your contacts, also the email addresses.

sorry to be a bit daft. Is this correct:

All info, including metadata (e.g. whom i sent to, and at what time) is encrypted server side, regardless whether I send internally or extremely. So e.g. in the case of someone succesfully hacking you, or a rogue employee, or a government ask, you cannot see whom I communicate with? Or maybe in the last two cases you can, because you can decrypt serverside?

anal ogy? You’re right, we probably should be able to see inside them in case they do hide stuff there.

You should, if you *allege* to support PRIVACY.

I wonder if it was Zach's intent in this comic to describe the TSA's body scanners?

Also, good work to everyone involved!

That is not merely an analogy...

Passengers virtually stripped naked by 3-D airport scanner

The airport in Kelowna, B.C., will be the first in Canada to test a new type of passenger scanner that creates a three-dimensional image of people's bodies.
