This function decodes an encoded string using the specified algorithm. The counterpart of this function is encodeString.

Syntax

string decodeString ( string algorithm, string input, [table options, function callback] )

Required Arguments

  • algorithm: The algorithm to use.
  • input: The input to decode.
  • options: A table with options and other necessary data for the algorithm, as detailed below.

Options for each algorithm

  • aes128 (Advanced Encryption Standard in CTR mode)
    • key: a key to decode the input with.
    • iv: the initialization vector that was generated by encodeString for this combination of data and encryption algorithm.
BETA: NEW FEATURE (BUILD: 1.6.1 r22408)
BETA: NEW FEATURE (BUILD: 1.6.1 r22408)

Optional Arguments

  • callback: providing a callback will run this function asynchronously, the arguments to the callback are the same as the returned values below.

Returns

Returns the decoded string if successful, false otherwise. If a callback was provided, the decoded string is argument to the callback.

Example

Adds an /decode command in which you can provide an algorithm, key and data to decode.
