# Decode Transaction

We also provided a utility function to decode the encrypted transactions received from signature requests.

<pre class="language-typescript"><code class="lang-typescript">const data: IDecodeTransaction = {
         signatureRequest: message,
         username: 'user-b'
      };

<strong>const decodedTx:ITransaction = await multisig.utils.decodeTransaction(data);
</strong></code></pre>

Under the hood, `decodeTransaction()`will validate the authorities of the transaction and then decrypt the transaction through Keychain if it is valid.&#x20;

Once the transaction has been decoded, the user can then sign the request.
