decryption key
Secret message revealer
A decryption key is a piece of information—typically a string of characters or a file—that unlocks encrypted data, restoring it to readable form.
Without the correct key, encrypted content remains scrambled and inaccessible.
Keys may be passwords you memorize, files stored on devices, or codes shared between parties: I lost the decryption key and can't access my old files.
