# Decrypt Text
This activity decrypts a text with a key based on a specified key encoding and algorithm.
### Input
* **Algorithm:**\
A drop-down that enables you to select the algorithm for decrypting the text provided as input. The following options are available
* [`Aes256`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced\\_Encryption\\_Standard)
* [`Triple Des`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple\\_DES)
* [`Rsa`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA\\_\\\(cryptosystem\\)
* [`SHA256Rsa`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2)
* **Public Key:** [`String Argument`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string)`Required`\
Specifies the key required for the text decryption process when using the SHA256Rsa algorithm.
* **Private Key:** [`String Argument`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string)\
Specifies the key required for the text decryption process when using the RSA algorithm.
* **Secret Key:** [`String Argument`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string)`Required`\
Specifies the key for the text decryption process when using the AES256 and TripleDes algorithm. Input a **16 character** string for **AES256** and a **32 Character** for **TripleDes** as the key input\\
* **Cipher Text:** [`String Argument`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string)`Required`\
Specifies the encrypted text that is to be decrypted by this activity.
* **Signature:** [`String Argument`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string)\
Specifies the signature that is used for verification in the SHA256Rsa algorithm.
### Output
* **Result:** [`String Variable`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/variables.md#string)\
Stores the decrypted text in the specified [String](/getting-started/rpa-studio/arguments.md#string) variable.
