decrypted
No longer encrypted
Decrypted describes something that has been converted from coded or encrypted form back into readable text or data.
A decrypted message can now be read; decrypted files are accessible again.
The verb decrypt reverses encryption—the process of scrambling information to protect it from unauthorized access: The spy decrypted the intercepted transmission.
