There is provided an information processing device including an acquirer that acquires second data obtained by converting first data constituted by bit data having a first number of bits into symbols having a second number of bits greater than the first number of bits, with respect to each of the bit data, a comparator that compares a first symbol string constituted by a plurality of symbols contained in the second data prior to reverse conversion of the acquired second data into the first data, to a second symbol string representing a code targeted for detection, and a detector that detects the first symbol string as the code targeted for detection from the second data, on the basis of the result of the comparison by the comparator.
