Base32 Decode
Base32 is a binary-to-text encoding format that is used to represent binary data in a printable format. The Base32 Decode tool is a tool that can be used to decode Base32 encoded data back into its original binary format.
The Base32 Decode tool works by taking a Base32 encoded string as input and converting it back into its original binary format. This process involves the following steps:
- The tool first checks that the input string is a valid Base32 encoded string. This is done by checking that the string contains only characters that are valid in the Base32 encoding format.
- The tool then converts the Base32 encoded string into a binary format using the following steps:
- The input string is converted into a sequence of 5-bit values.
- Each group of 5 bits is converted into an 8-bit value using a lookup table.
- The resulting binary values are then concatenated to form the final output.
- The tool then returns the binary data as a string of bytes.
