Navigate to Parties: Click "Parties" in the sidebar navigation
Discover Network: Click "🔍 Discover Parties" to scan for quantum nodes
Add Manually: Click "➕ Add Party" to manually add known quantum stations
Initiate Communication: Click "🔗 Connect" on any party card to start quantum communication
Manage Trust: Click "🛡️ Trust" to adjust trust levels (0-100%)
View Details: Click on any party card to see detailed information and communication history

Party Communication Workflow

// Web interface workflow for quantum communication:
// 1. User selects protocol (BB84, E91, B92, SARG04, DPS, COW)
// 2. User chooses security level (UNCLASSIFIED → TS//SCI)
// 3. User sets key length (128, 256, 512, 1024 bits)
// 4. User selects priority (low, normal, high, urgent)
// 5. System validates compatibility and initiates handshake
// 6. Real-time status updates via WebSocket

WebSocket Real-Time Monitoring

// Connect to real-time quantum network monitoring
const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:8000/ws?token=${authToken}`);

ws.onmessage = function(event) {
    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
    
    if (data.type === 'network_health') {
        console.log('Active Channels:', data.data.active_channels);
        console.log('Key Generation Rate:', data.data.total_key_rate, 'bps');
        console.log('Average QBER:', data.data.average_qber, '%');
        
        // Update dashboard in real-time
        updateDashboard(data.data);
    }
    
    if (data.type === 'party_status_update') {
        console.log('Party Status Changed:', data.data.party_id, data.data.status);
        updatePartyStatus(data.data);
    }
};

// Request specific channel monitoring
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    action: 'monitor_channel',
    channel_id: 'channel-123',
    metrics: ['qber', 'key_rate', 'error_count']
}));

// Monitor party communications
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    action: 'monitor_parties',
    party_ids: ['quantum-alice-001', 'quantum-bob-002']
}));
