# TINES_DECRYPT

*[View on tines.com](https://www.tines.com/docs/formulas/functions/tines-decrypt/)*

Decrypts text using Tines encryption. TINES_DECRYPT enforces expiration: attempting to decrypt expired data raises an error. Expiration has second granularity and is subject to clock skew.
Arguments:

encrypted: The encrypted ciphertext must be the direct output of TINES_ENCRYPT.

key: A key of at least 32 bytes.

**Categories:** Encryption

## Syntax

```
TINES_DECRYPT(encrypted, key)
```

## Examples

### Example 1
