Decoding Process: bWF0dGhpYXM= to matthias

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bWF0dGhpYXM=" 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
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
F	000101	5
0	110100	52
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
h	100001	33
p	101001	41
Y	011000	24
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):

01101101 01100001 01110100 01110100 01101000 01101001 01100001 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01100001	a
01110100	t
01110100	t
01101000	h
01101001	i
01100001	a
01110011	s
00

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