About Base64

Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in ASCII format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.

Common uses: Encoding binary data in emails, embedding images in HTML/CSS, basic data obfuscation, and URL-safe data passing.

About Text Encoding

Text encoding is the process of transforming text from one format to another, often to ensure compatibility across systems, secure transmission, or to meet specific technical requirements.

Common Use Cases:

  • Secure data transmission over networks
  • Storing passwords and sensitive information
  • Making binary data readable as text
  • Ensuring special characters work in URLs
  • Converting between character sets
  • Escaping unsafe characters in HTML

Security Considerations:

  • Encoding is not encryption - many encodings can be easily reversed
  • Use hash functions for password storage with proper salting
  • Always encode user input for the context where it will be used
  • Different encodings are appropriate for different security concerns
  • Combining encodings doesn't necessarily improve security
