About RookDuel Avikal.
Built for research. Designed for custody.
Avikal is a privacy and archival security tool developed under research purposes. It is currently in active development as an open-source initiative, and we welcome contributions from the community.
Open Source & Research Origins
Avikal was originally conceived and developed under academic and technical research purposes, focusing on integrating post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM), distributed randomness (drand), and novel steganographic concepts (legal chess PGN encoding) into a unified archival tool.
While it is highly functional, it is still in active development. We firmly believe that security tools should be transparent and auditable. Avikal is completely open-source, and everyone—from cryptographers to UI designers—is welcome to review the code, suggest improvements, and contribute to the repository.

Avikal is a privacy and archival security tool. It is meant for lawful file protection, legitimate private storage, research, backup, and controlled future release workflows.
