According to the Federal Standard 1037C, the National Information Systems Security Glossary, and the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms: "In telecommunications, the term decrypt has the following meanings: 1. [A] generic term encompassing decode and decipher. 2. To convert encrypted text into its equivalent plaintext by means of a cryptosystem. " <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decrypt> So no, I mean decrypt. Regards, Razi Shaban _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
