Your computer and and my computer have a cypher that only we know, no one else knows it. Like a secret language. If I write something to you, my computer translates it into nonsense using our cypher so that if anyone else intercepts my message it would just look like garbage. But because your computer knows how to translate my message, it comes through normally for you. Like spies lol
