This application is designed to help you and me understand and study the usage of Base64 encryption.

Base64 is a popular encoding method used to represent binary data as ASCII characters. It is commonly used in various applications, including data transmission and storing binary data in text-based formats.

How does Base64 works?

  1. You transform the characters in the input to binary (base-2)
  2. You split the stream in groups of 6 characters (6 bits)
  3. You transform each of the groups into the number that group represents, using base-10
  4. Convert each of this numbers into the character it represents, using the table below
  5. If needed, newlines are added to keep textline below 76 chars, if a 6 numbers group is not complete, the pad symbol is added (=)
