Why does it take half a year to decode an airplane’s black box?

1.07K views

In light of the recent plane crash in Pakistan, reports suggest that it will take 6-7 months to decode the black box.
The company that made the black box surely knows how to decrypt their encryption, so why would it take so long?
Also, assuming the encyrption is super-complicated, what sensitive data would warrant such encryption? Is it just voice recordings, or something more?

Basically a black box regards all the data that is occurring, think of the information as words. The words are then put on the page in just every which way. The information isnt in any sort of order or make any sort of sense.

It is up to the engineers to take those words and put them into a paragraph so that it can be understood.
