Clipper chip

The Clipper Chip is a tiny piece of computer hardware that is used to secure data and communications. It is a microchip (a very small electronic piece) that encrypts data and is used to keep sensitive information like credit card numbers or online banking details safe. The chip uses encryption, which is a special code that scrambles information so that only those who have the code can read it. The Clipper Chip helps to protect the data from being stolen, so people can feel more secure when sending personal information over the internet.
