Decoding Process: cHJvb2Y= to proof

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cHJvb2Y=" 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
H	000111	7
J	001001	9
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
Y	011000	24
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01110010 01101111 01101111 01100110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01110010	r
01101111	o
01101111	o
01100110	f
00

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