Actually they may not need to use software or even cryptography.
You can't build a cypher machine using "stone knives and bear skins".
But it's highly possible that stone age versions of Alice, Bob and Eve

Alternatives such as codes can easily be a better option, where only
limited messages are needed.

Pity no government appears to realise that spam is a possible way for
criminals to send covert messages though...
