//! Perplexity and entropy analysis for adversarial suffix detection
//!
//! This module provides tools to detect adversarial suffixes like those
//! generated by AutoDAN and GCG attacks by analyzing character-level
//! perplexity and token entropy.
//!
//! ## Research References
//!
//! - [AutoDAN](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04451) - Genetic algorithm adversarial prompts
//! - [GCG Attack](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15043) - Zou et al., 2023
//!   Gradient-based universal attacks that produce gibberish suffixes
//!
//! ## Detection Approach
//!
//! Adversarial suffixes typically exhibit unusual statistical properties:
//! - Very high perplexity: Random/gibberish character sequences
//! - Very low perplexity: Repeated characters or patterns
//! - Unusual character n-gram distributions
//! - Low token entropy (many repeated tokens)
