Decoding Process: ZGlzY2xvc3VyZXM= to disclosures

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGlzY2xvc3VyZXM=" 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
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
z	110011	51
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
x	110001	49
v	101111	47
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
V	010101	21
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01101001 01110011 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100101 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01101001	i
01110011	s
01100011	c
01101100	l
01101111	o
01110011	s
01110101	u
01110010	r
01100101	e
01110011	s
00

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