Hi HN, we are the developers from Tuta (formerly Tutanota), the German end-to-end encrypted email provider, and we recently released the world's first post-quantum encryption for email. We have included a full technical write-up of the cryptography involved in these changes and we have released it for open public review. This document specifies TutaCrypt, a protocol designed for hybrid email encryption in Tuta Mail. The protocol combines a classical Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellman key exchange with a post-quantum KEM. The goal is to replace the usage of RSA in Tuta Mail. In the remainder of…

Hi HN, I've been building Nucleus, a lightweight Linux container runtime focused on two workloads: ephemeral AI-agent sandboxes and declarative NixOS services. It's a single Rust binary, no daemon. It is not a Docker replacement and not a strict subset of Docker either. I dropped the entire image-and-distribution half (no Dockerfile, no layers, no registry, no pull/push, no persistent storage layer) in exchange for going deeper on isolation and reproducibility. The rootfs is either a directory copied into tmpfs (agent mode) or a Nix-built closure mounted read-only (production mode). If…

I’ve developed a new public-key encryption scheme (DIAC) that uses multidimensional, high-precision complex keyspaces and a modular trapdoor function for ultra-high entropy and quantum resistance. The code, benchmarks, and research paper (PDF) are all open-source: https://osf.io/mvkcq/ Would love feedback, questions, or cryptanalysis!

Hey HN, I’m Ilias, 19, from Paris. I built Ellipticc Drive, an open-source cloud drive with true end-to-end encryption and post-quantum security, designed to be Dropbox-like in UX but with zero access to your data, even by the host. What’s unique: Free 10GB for every user, forever. Open-source frontend (audit or self-host if you want) Tech stack: Frontend: Next.js Crypto: WebCrypto (hashing) + Noble (core primitives) Encryption: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (file chunks) Key wrapping: Kyber (ML-KEM768) Signing: Ed25519 + Dilithium2 (ML-DSA65) Key derivation: Argon2id → Master Key → encrypts all…

Post-Quantum Data Fission:Sovereign security for the Y2Q era

Hello HN! We are developers and security researchers making tools for developers to encrypt data at an application level while maintaining sole control of their keys. We believe that data should always be encrypted unless it is part of an active computation. Encryption is relatively easy, but key management is challenging. There are plenty of encryption tools and SDKs that are out there (Hashicorp Vault, AWS KMS etc.) but we are focusing on ease and speed of implementation, developer experience and self custody of keys. A few months ago, we quit our jobs and started full time on Phase. So…

Hey HN. I'm Colton (YC S21, ex-Acorns), one of the founders of Postquant Labs. My cofounder Richard is a cryptographer out of Draper Labs and DARPA. We're building Quip.Network, the first distributed quantum compute network. We just opened our testnet and wanted to share it here. The basic problem: quantum hardware is here and already competitive on certain optimization problems, but for most people, there's no way to access it. The machines cost millions and the hardware and research are gated by the companies who own them. Also, quantum providers regularly have machines sitting idle…

The payment ecosystem is dominated by closed systems and walled gardens, and with the ever increasing layers of intermediaries. We've simplified the process of setting up your own card vault so that you can take control over tokenizing your customer's credit / debit cards without having to deal with third parties.

Hi HN, I'm Dan Draper, founder of CipherStash. We've spent 5 years building per-value searchable encryption tech. We realized that encryption like this is incredibly powerful but the engineering required is generally not worth the effort. So we built a platform and opensource SDK to take the cry out of cryptography :) CipherStash Stack is: * A searchable encryption SDK for TS and Postgres * Fast, key management with Zerokms (backed by HSM) * A transparent SQL proxy * Auth library and OIDC federation service * Skills for data security Integrations include Prisma Next, Drizzle, Auth0, Clerk…

I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!
