Mary Jo David asked:
Anybody care to venture a guess as to which of the following is correct when
you are referring to a step that "undoes" encryption:
- Decrypting
- Unencrypting
- De-encrypting
Hi Mary,
working as a technical writer for a company that works in the field of
encryption I have always used "decrypt" as the opposite to "encrypt"
HTH and greetings from Germany
Andreas
