A technique used to recover the original plaintext from the ciphertext so that it is intelligible to the reader. The decryption is a reverse process of the encryption.

Decryption is the process of transforming an encrypted message into its original plaintext.

The reverse application of an encryption algorithm to encrypted data, thereby restoring that data to its original, unencrypted state. See also encryption.

See Decipherment [7498-2].

The process of decoding data that has been encrypted into a secret format. Decryption requires a secret key or password.    

The act of restoring an encrypted file to its original state.

The process of transforming ciphertext into cleartext.

The process of translating unreadable information into plain text

Term for extracting original information that has been encrypted back to its original un-encrypted form.

(n) the activity of making clear or converting from code into plain text

Decryption is the process of converting encrypted (unintelligable) text, called ciphertext, back into its original intelligable format, called plaintext.

  The process by which encrypted data is restored to its original form in order to be understood/usable by another computer or person. *** The Information Security Glossary ***

Decryption is the process of transforming an encrypted message (ciphertext) into its original plaintext.

The process by which encrypted data is restored to its original form in order to be understood/usable by another computer or person.

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 t [..]

The process of deciphering ciphered text back to plain text by means of a code.

The process used to "unscramble" information so that a "scrambled" or jumbled message becomes understandable.

The process of unscrambling encrypted data to restore the original meaningful message is referred to as decryption.

The process reversing an encryption, i.e. the process which converts encrypted data into its original form.
