Decoding Process: c3VzYW4= to susan

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3VzYW4=" 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
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
4	111000	56
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110101 01110011 01100001 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110101	u
01110011	s
01100001	a
01101110	n
00

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