About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cmVndWxhdG9yeQ==" 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
m	100110	38
V	010101	21
n	100111	39
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
x	110001	49
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
e	011110	30
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01100101 01100111 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110100 01101111 01110010 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01100101	e
01100111	g
01110101	u
01101100	l
01100001	a
01110100	t
01101111	o
01110010	r
01111001	y
0000

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