Provable security
Okay kiddo, so you know how we lock our front door to keep bad guys out? Well, sometimes when we use computers, we need to keep bad guys out too, but it's much harder to lock a computer program than a door.
That's where provable security comes in. It's like a trick that computer scientists use to make sure their computer programs are super secure – even more secure than our front door!
The trick works like this: first, the computer scientists make a plan, or an algorithm, for how their program should work. Then, they use something called mathematical proofs to show that their program is impossible for bad guys to break into, even if they try really, really hard.
Think of it like making a puzzle that is so hard, no one can solve it. If you're the one making the puzzle, you can test it over and over again to make sure no one can solve it. That's what the computer scientists are doing when they use mathematical proofs. They're testing their program to make sure no bad guys can break in.
And when they're done, they know their program is super safe and they can use it without worrying about any bad guys trying to break in. Pretty neat, huh?
