# Decrypt
**Magensa Decrypt** is a PCI-DSS-certified cloud service that performs centralized decryption of data captured by MagTek MagneSafe readers — returning decrypted card data, MagnePrint scores, and transaction IDs without that sensitive data ever touching your own environment. It handles anything a MagneSafe reader encrypts, from full card swipes to individually encrypted fields, and is frequently paired with the **Decrypt & Forward (DaF)** service to route decrypted payloads on to third-party endpoints. Use the references below to explore the Decrypt web service and related MPPG payment operations, grab sample code from GitHub, or open the support hub for manuals, brochures, FAQs, and videos.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://developer.magtek.com/services/magensa/decrypt.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
