IRONDOTS CHAT allows you to send and receive encrypted text messages through sound waves. The app does not connect to the internet and all encrypted messages are only transmitted by sound or ultrasound. To receive incoming messages, you only need to allow access to your device's microphone. THE IRONDOTSCHAT PRINCIPLE IRONDOTSCHAT protects your messages from access by hackers, companies and governments through physical separation and end-to-end encryption. The app can be used completely anonymously (without registration; without providing a phone number or email address). IRONDOTS is based on the "box" model of the open source NaCl Networking and Cryptography Library to transmit messages with a maximum length of 40 characters encrypted through sound waves. COMMUNICATE WITHOUT TRACES IRONDOTSCHAT is designed for offline operation, without an internet connection. We have simply not implemented the possibility to communicate with the Internet or other devices. Your secret certificate is stored encrypted with your password on the mobile phone/tablet. All this prevents the collection and misuse of personal information. IRONDOTS is fully compliant with the European Data Protection Act (DPA). BEST ENCRYPTION All messages are always end-to-end encrypted. You can be sure that no one except the intended recipient can read your messages. The key pair is generated and stored encrypted directly on your device. 256-bit long asymmetric keys are used, which are generated using elliptic curve cryptography (Curve25519). This asymmetric key is used to obtain a unique 256-bit symmetric key for each message sent. NO ADS, NO TRACKERS, NO COOKIES IRONDOTSCHAT is not financed by advertising and does not collect user data.

QuantumPass

QuantumPass brings two worlds together: a password and key generator, and a small lab to discover quantum randomness. GENERATE ⢠Passwords from 8 to 64 characters: lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols, ambiguous-character exclusion, forbidden characters and required characters. The estimated entropy is shown with each result. ⢠Diceware passphrases of 3 to 10 words, in French or English depending on the app language, with the separator of your choice. Strengthen a phrase with randomly drawn capitals, substitutions and suffix. ⢠QRNG: 1 to 100 random bits, in binary, decimal, hexadecimal or Base64. ⢠Blockchain RNG: 128 to 512-bit values in Hex, Base64 or Base58, for your keys and seeds. ⢠All these values come from Apple's cryptographic generator. UNDERSTAND ⢠BB84 demo: follow the key exchange between Alice and Bob, and watch Eve the eavesdropper given away by the error rate. ⢠Qubit Lab: measure a simulated qubit in the Z or X basis and watch the statistics build up. ⢠Bloch sphere: set the θ angle and compare theoretical probabilities with measured frequencies. ⢠Reproducible mode: a seed to replay the same demonstration, in class or in a workshop. ⢠PRNG vs TRNG: two animated panels to see the difference between simulated and hardware randomness. ⢠Built-in tutorial and a 10-question quiz. PRACTICAL ⢠Secure clipboard: whatever you copy stays on the device and is cleared after 60 seconds. ⢠In French and English, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. ⢠Tip Jar: support development right from the app. PRIVACY QuantumPass works offline. All calculations are performed on your device. No account, no ads, no data collected. QuantumPass is an educational tool: its "quantum generator" is a simulation, fed by the system's secure random source.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: IRONDOTS CHAT at 14.0 against QuantumPass's 17.6. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
