Decrypt the payload content

Use the matched-data-cli tool to decrypt a payload in the command line.

Download ↗ the matched-data-cli tool for your platform from the Releases page on GitHub, under Assets.
Extract the content of the downloaded .tar.gz file to a local folder.
Open a command line window and change to the local folder containing the matched-data-cli binary.
Terminal window
```
cd matched-data-cli
```
Create two files: one with your private key and another one with the encrypted payload:
Terminal window
```
printf "<PRIVATE_KEY>" > private_key.txt && chmod 400 private_key.txt

printf "<ENCRYPTED_PAYLOAD>" > encrypted_payload.txt
```
Replace <PRIVATE_KEY> with your private key and <ENCRYPTED_PAYLOAD> with the encrypted payload.

Note: The first printf command will make your private key visible in your command history.
Run the following command to decrypt the payload:
Terminal window
```
decrypt -k private_key.txt encrypted_payload.txt
```

Example

The following example creates two files — one with the private key and another one with the encrypted payload — and runs the matched-data-cli tool to decrypt the payload in the encrypted_payload.txt file:

~ cd matched-data-cli

printf "uBS5eBttHrqkdY41kbZPdvYnNz8Vj0TvKIUpjB1y/GA=" > private_key.txt && chmod 400 private_key.txt

printf "AzTY6FHajXYXuDMUte82wrd+1n5CEHPoydYiyd3FMg5IEQAAAAAAAAA0lOhGXBclw8pWU5jbbYuepSIJN5JohTtZekLliJBlVWk=" > encrypted_payload.txt

decrypt -k private_key.txt encrypted_payload.txt
