//! BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Implementation
//!
//! This module implements the BB84 protocol for quantum key distribution.
//! While we cannot have actual quantum channels in software, this provides
//! a realistic simulation of the protocol for development and testing.
//!
//! Enhancements over basic BB84:
//! - Configurable channel noise model (depolarizing noise)
//! - QBER reporting per key generation
//! - Information reconciliation step (Cascade-style parity check)
//! - Security tier integration (refuses T4+ if QBER > threshold)
