The presentation layer is the fifth layer of the OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model). It is responsible for the translation, encoding, and compression of data so that it can be presented to the user in a readable format. The presentation layer is also responsible for the encryption and decryption of data. It is the layer that makes sure the data is presented to the user in a format they can understand. This layer interfaces with the application layer and is sometimes referred to as the syntax layer.
