Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proof protocol with BB84 simulation and Aadhaar identity verification
Documentation
//! Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proof (QZKP) protocol.
//!
//! The core protocol: two parties derive basis strings from shared secrets via a
//! SHA-256 KDF, prepare and measure qubits through a noisy quantum channel, and
//! verify identity by checking that the Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER) stays
//! below an 11% threshold.
