DECRYPTION

Decryption is the process of taking encoded or encrypted text or other data and converting it back into text that you or the computer can read and understand. This talent is used as a method of unencrypting the data manually or unencrypting the data using the proper codes or keys. This skill represents one’s ability to decrypt an electronic system’s codes and force it to operate without proper authorizations. Decryption is usually used against locked doors and containers. It also allows one to decrypt coded messages and understand the purpose of a given electronic code (for example: determine that a foreign code in a door’s software is actually a security system that alerts whenever that door is opened). While the Decryption talent is in active use, the character cannot counter against hostile attacks and becomes enemy's priority target.
