What does decryption mean?

Decryption is the process of transforming data that has been rendered unreadable through encryption back to its unencrypted form. In decryption, the system extracts and converts the garbled data and transforms it to texts and images that are easily understandable not only by the reader but also by the system.

How do you decrypt data?

Decrypting data involves several steps, from obtaining the encrypted data to determining the decryption algorithm and key, and finally using those to decrypt the data. There are several tools available to assist in the decryption process, ranging from password managers and encryption software to hardware-based encryption devices.
