ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CAdES (computing)

So, you know how you like to draw pictures, right? And your mom loves to keep all of your drawings safe, so she puts them in a special folder. That way, nobody can mess with them or change them except for you and your mom.

Well, that's what cades does for computer files! It's like a special folder that keeps important computer stuff safe and secure. It's called a digital signature, which means it's just like someone signing their name to say "This is mine and nobody can change it without my permission."

So, when people want to send important computer files, like legal papers or government documents, they use cades to keep them safe from bad guys who might try to steal or change them. It's like a security guard for files on a computer!
