Information-theoretic security

Information-theoretic security is a way of keeping information safe by using mathematics. It means we use a secret code that we can use to encrypt information. This code is like a puzzle that can't be solved without the right answer. So, if someone tries to steal the information, they still won't be able to read it. It's like a math problem that only we know the answer to.
