All About Our Decryption Algorithm

This document assumes that you have read All About Our Encryption Algorithm.  If you have not read All About Our Encryption Algorithm, please read it before reading this document.

Decrypting a file encrypted using XOR is very simple.  We merely perform the same operation a second time.  XOR is one of the small set of operation which is its own inverse.  Put simply, (X XOR W) XOR X = W

If we XOR the key across all of the text a second time we get back the original text.
