Treffer: BB84 Quantum Encryption Tool Simulator: BB84 Quantum Hybrid Encryption – Prototype v1.1

This is the first official release of the BB84 Quantum Hybrid Encryption Tool – a scientific prototype implementing quantum-classical encryption techniques for secure file exchange. 🔐 Key Features: BB84 Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) simulation using Qiskit (AerSimulator). AES-256 encryption in CBC mode with secure key embedding. HMAC-SHA256 for integrity verification between Key A and Key B. Optional Dilithium2 digital signature (NIST PQC standard). Secure .bb84 file packaging with GUI (Tkinter-based). Scientific metric logging and test validation support. 📁 What's included: Full Python source code and modular architecture. GUI interface, encryption/decryption logic, metrics module. Sample test file and metric output examples. 🔬 Research Context: This prototype was developed as part of a hybrid quantum-classical cryptography project aiming to simulate post-quantum secure communication channels. It demonstrates a novel architecture combining quantum key distribution and classical cryptographic robustness. 🆕 What's new in v1.1: • Minor improvements and packaging adjustments. • Cleaned file structure and clarified interface documentation. • Description and metadata updated for version consistency. 🧑‍💻 Author: Hector Mozo🧪 Version: v1.0.1📄 Apache 2.0
