Tuta Mail announced TutaCrypt, a hybrid post-quantum email encryption protocol that combines CRYSTALS-Kyber (KEM) with X25519 (ECDH) and uses AES-256/HMAC-SHA-256, Argon2, and HKDF to defend against harvest-now, decrypt-later threats; new accounts receive it immediately and existing users migrate via key rotation, while current limitations include reliance on classical algorithms for authenticity/integrity and potential risks if long-term identity keys are compromised.
