Information on Base64

Base64 is a means of encoding binary data into printable text characters in a way that is independent of the character set of the underlying computer. This independence of the underlying character set is unique to base64, and is not provided by other systems such as the traditional Unix uuencode.
     Base64 is specified as part of the MIME protocol.
     The output of a base64 encoder consists of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and /).
