What is secure?

Secure means safe, like your toy box when it’s locked and no one can take your favorite dinosaur.

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of candy coins. You want to keep them safe so you can eat them later. If the lid is on tight, and only you know how to open it, that's secure, like having a secret password. But if someone else can just lift the lid without trying, then your candy isn’t secure anymore.

Sometimes we use keys, like when you have a lock on your door. Only people with the right key can open it. That’s how some secure places work, like your bedroom or your mom's wallet.

Other times, we use codes. Maybe you and your friend make up a secret language so only you two can understand what you're saying. That’s another way to be secure.

If something is secure, it means no one else can mess with it, like your favorite toy when it's safely tucked inside the toy box. Secure means safe, like your toy box when it’s locked and no one can take your favorite dinosaur.
