QuantumPass

Read full description

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.

QuorumPony splits a secret into a set of cards. Any few of them rebuild it. One card on its own reveals nothing. It is built for the things you cannot afford to lose and should not keep in a single place: a crypto seed phrase, a private key, a password manager recovery code, the master key behind your other backups. HOW IT WORKS You choose how many cards to make and how many it takes to recover. A common setup is 3 of 5. Print five cards, and any three of them bring the secret back. Lose one or two and you are still safe. Anyone who finds a single card learns nothing at all. This is real Shamir Secret Sharing, the same approach used to protect root keys at certificate authorities and in bank key ceremonies, running entirely on your device and offline. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Split text or a key file into cards - Recover by scanning each card's QR code or typing its printed code - Check a card to confirm it is intact and which backup it belongs to, without rebuilding the secret - Export all your cards as a printable PDF - Name a backup so you know what it protects. The name is printed on the card and is never mixed into the secret. PAPER, NOT THE CLOUD Your cards live on paper. Print them, store them in separate places, or hand them to people you trust. There is no account, no sync, and no server. QuorumPony keeps no copy of your secret. PRIVATE BY DESIGN QuorumPony collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Everything happens on your device. Face ID or Touch ID can lock the app, and copied secrets clear from the clipboard automatically. OPEN SOURCE CRYPTO The cryptographic core is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can read, build, and verify the exact code that protects your keys. The security is something you can check, not just trust. SIX LANGUAGES English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, and Portuguese (Brazil), switchable any time inside the app. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuorumPony at none against QuantumPass's 3. QuantumPass's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
