Decoding Process: d2VzdHdvb2Q= to westwood

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "d2VzdHdvb2Q=" 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
d	011101	29
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
d	011101	29
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110111 01100101 01110011 01110100 01110111 01101111 01101111 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110111	w
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110100	t
01110111	w
01101111	o
01101111	o
01100100	d
00

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