Fourteen classical algorithms with integrated analysis engines. Frequency histograms, index of coincidence calculation, Kasiski examination, and chi-squared scoring for systematic plaintext recovery.
All features operate entirely offline. No external authentication required.
Avreno implements fourteen historical cipher systems spanning substitution and transposition categories. The substitution block includes Caesar, Atbash, Affine, keyword-based monoalphabetic, Vigenère polyalphabetic, Beaufort autokey, Playfair digraph, Polybius square, Nihilist numerical, and Bacon biliteral methods.
The integrated analysis engine computes frequency distributions with histogram visualization, calculates index of coincidence for polyalphabetic detection, executes Kasiski examination for key-length determination, and applies chi-squared scoring against target language models for plaintext validation.
The Alphabet Rail mechanism provides physical manipulation of character mappings with haptic confirmation at optimal alignment points. Case file architecture preserves evidence photographs, ciphertext transcriptions, analysis session data, and solution timelines with export functionality for documentation purposes.

Avreno originated from academic cryptography coursework requirements for hands-on cipher manipulation. The design prioritizes complete offline operation with zero telemetry to maintain analytical privacy. Version 1.2 incorporates performance optimizations for frequency computation routines and interface refinements based on user testing with puzzle competition communities.
Integrated frequency analysis, IoC calculation, Kasiski examination, and chi-squared scoring provide quantitative validation for decryption hypotheses across all cipher types.
Physical manipulation metaphor for key adjustment with live decryption rendering. Haptic feedback pulses confirm optimal alignment based on plaintext likelihood metrics.
Persistent storage of evidence photographs, transcription sessions, analysis parameters, and complete solution timelines. Export case data as structured text files.
Twenty-four curated ciphertext exercises spanning four difficulty tiers. Progressive complexity introduces polyalphabetic systems, layered encipherment, and custom alphabets.
Photograph handwritten cipher notes directly into workbench. Character recognition preprocessing reduces manual transcription time for field-collected materials.
Complete on-device processing with zero network transmission. No account creation, no cloud synchronization, no usage analytics. All data remains exclusively local.
