Protected Information in an intelligible form paras 3.8 to 3.9
Protected Information in an intelligible form
3.8 In the Act and throughout this code references to protected information being 'intelligible' or 'put into an intelligible form' mean restoring the protected information to the condition it was in before being protected, whether by encryption or other process. This will be the condition in which the information or data was originally generated or processed before being protected or any condition it was in before being protected. In other words putting information into an intelligible form can include restoring it to a previously protected form to which further decryption or similar process needs to be applied to the information or data in order to comprehend it fully.
3.9 Information put into its original condition means that it must remain stable in that condition. Information is not put into an intelligible form if it is put into its original condition, or restored to a previously protected form, only momentarily or for a finite period of time
