Base64 Encoding Library

Base64 Encoding Library 1.0

This library implements the Base64 encoding system as it is explain in RFC 2045: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies. This encoding is used as a standard to send binary information through network connections or by e-mail.

Note: Although this system is very similar to the one I implemented in the RC4 and RC2 algorithms, they are not compatible.
