Decoding Process: YmlydGhkYXk= to birthday

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YmlydGhkYXk=" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Y	011000	24
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
y	110010	50
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
h	100001	33
k	100100	36
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100010 01101001 01110010 01110100 01101000 01100100 01100001 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01101001	i
01110010	r
01110100	t
01101000	h
01100100	d
01100001	a
01111001	y
00

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "birthday"
