Encryption software

Encryption software is a special tool that helps keep information secret, like a secret code. It scrambles (or jumbles) the message or file, so that only the people who know the secret code can unscramble (or decipher) it to read or use it. Imagine you and your friends have a secret language that only you understand. If someone tries to listen in on your conversation, they won't be able to understand what you're talking about because they don't know your secret language. Encryption software does something similar by turning your message into a secret code that only you and your friends can understand. This makes it really hard for thieves or hackers to read or steal your information. It's like having a secret button on your computer or phone that locks away your important things from strangers.
