Hi everybody!
Someone could explain me the difference between the two verbs:
entschüsseln and entziffern
Thanks and bye | |

The only thing I can say is that my Oxford dictionary defines both as "decode, decipher" although it specifically cites in terms of writing for entziffern. | |

When talking about computers "entschüsseln" is used more often. | |

entziffern means "to read", even if is hard to read (cipher=Ziffer
entschlüsseln means to solve a riddle, to find a key (key=Schlüssel)
computers are often using cryptographic algorithms where keys are used so in this context it's entschlüsseln | |
