+__Description__
+Quantum mechanics makes it impossible (not just infeasible) to passively eavesdrop on a communication channel. Quantum channels are thus ideal for secret key distribution, and a protocol named BB84-Cascade has been devised to manage the transmission and correct channel errors.
+Determining the block size in this protocol is critical due to its exponential effect on information leaked to an eavesdropper. If the block size is too small, too much information is leaked, and if it is too large, not enough bits will be shared.
+The purpose of this project is to simulate the protocol in a Java program and then run the simulation for a variety of error rates and block sizes while monitoring the leakage. This will allow us to determine the optimal block size for the BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol.
