CIPHER TYPE: IRIS
SECURITY LEVEL: 6/7
STATUS: [ACTIVE — AWAITING DECRYPTION]
MISSION BRIEFING
----------------
Two 256-bit IrisCode vectors are provided. Compute the Hamming distance between them (fraction of differing bits). Answer is the distance as a float.

> hint:
IrisCode Hamming distance = count_differing_bits / 256. XOR the two bit vectors and count set bits. Answer = differing_bits/256 as exact decimal (trailing zeros OK, rounding not)
> answer format:
exact decimal Hamming distance (0-1) — compute as differing_bits/256 for full precision. trailing zeros optional, rounding rejected
