FIPS is a program that helps keep computer programs and the information they store safe. Think of it like a superhero that protects your computer from bad guys who want to steal your information. FIPS uses special rules and ways of doing things, kind of like a secret code, to make it really hard for bad guys to get in and steal things. Just like how only you and your family know the secret code to get into your house, FIPS has a special code that only the computer and the people who made FIPS know, so no bad guys can sneak in. So, when you use a program that has FIPS, you can be sure that your information is being protected by a superhero!
