Building RookDuel Avikal: From Chess Steganography to Post-Quantum Archival Security
RookDuel Avikal is an open-source archival security system that originated from the exploration of hiding data within chess. The project evolved from initial curiosity about chess steganography to a structured archival tool that combines cryptographic protection with a unique metadata transport system. Avikal aims to provide long-term private storage with layered access control and future-governed release workflows.
