What are base 64 encodings used for?
Base64 is a method for encoding 8-bit binary data into a character string that only consists of
readable, code-page-independent ASCII characters. It is used in the Internet-standard Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions and is used there to send e-mail attachments.
When you have some binary data that you want to ship across a network, you generally don’t do it by
just streaming the bits and bytes over the wire in a raw format. Why? because some media are made
for streaming text. You never know — some protocols may interpret your binary data as control
characters (like a modem), or your binary data could be screwed up because the underlying protocol
might think that you’ve entered a special character combination (like how FTP translates line
endings). So to get around this, people encode the binary data into characters. Base64 is one of these
types of encodings.
Why 64?
Because you can generally on the same 64 characters being present in many character sets, and you
can be reasonably confident that your data’s going to end up on the other side of the wire
uncorrupted.
