#Base64
Something I haven't really realized until recently is that there are apparently at least two Base64s and you need to use the right one when decoding/encoding… 🫠🫣

Base64 is not encryption: what it is, when to use it, and the Unicode gotcha
Every few months I see Base64 described as "encoding for security." It isn't. Here's what it actually does. ## What Base64 is Base64 turns arbitrary bytes into text made only of safe characters (`A–Z`, `a–z`, `0–9`, `+`, `/`, plus `=` padding). That makes it possible to put binary data in places that only accept text: JSON, URLs, HTML, email. Common uses: * Data URIs: `data:image/png;base64,...` * HTTP Basic auth headers * Parts of JWTs * Embedding small files in JSON APIs ## What it is not **It's not encryption.** There's no key and no secret. Anyone can decode it instantly: atob("c2VjcmV0LXBhc3N3b3Jk"); // "secret-password" If you see credentials "protected" with Base64, they're not protected. ## It makes data bigger Every 3 bytes become 4 characters, so output is about **33% larger**. That's fine for small icons and tokens, but a bad idea for large files. ## The Unicode gotcha `btoa` only handles characters in the Latin-1 range: btoa("héllo"); // works btoa("नमस्ते"); // InvalidCharacterError btoa("😀"); // InvalidCharacterError The fix is to convert text to UTF-8 bytes first: function toBase64(str) { const bytes = new TextEncoder().encode(str); let binary = ""; bytes.forEach(b => (binary += String.fromCharCode(b))); return btoa(binary); } function fromBase64(b64) { const binary = atob(b64); const bytes = Uint8Array.from(binary, c => c.charCodeAt(0)); return new TextDecoder().decode(bytes); } fromBase64(toBase64("नमस्ते 😀")); // "नमस्ते 😀" ## Base64URL: the URL-safe variant Standard Base64 uses `+` and `/`, which have special meaning in URLs. Base64URL swaps them for `-` and `_` and usually drops the `=` padding. JWTs use this variant, so decoding one with plain `atob` can fail until you convert the characters back. const toStandard = s => s.replace(/-/g, "+").replace(/_/g, "/"); ## Quick rules * Use it to move binary data through text-only channels * Don't use it to hide anything * Avoid it for large files * Always go through UTF-8 for non-English text For quick checks while debugging, I use a Base64 encoder/decoder from the free tools on Erapse, a site I run. For anything sensitive, decode locally instead. What's the strangest place you've found Base64 in the wild?

Yeah, but the problem is not that I thought about it and am not sure how to detect it, the problem is that I haven't thought about it - usually I'm parsing for a given format/protocol and the spec should (!) say which base64 it is and you only need to handle that one

yeah you should be able to take any base64 string of either variant and `tr('-_', '+/')` and it should JFW (unless the decoder is picky about padding chars)

GitHub's new Actions log secret scanning skips anything already masked, and that includes a token your agent's debug step Base64-encodes. A short script catches those leaks today.

Losing that key twice is a rite of passage—third time's the charm if you encode it as a base64 env var and decrypt it in CI only at signing time.

Stripping base64 before inject is the clever bit — hashes are pure token waste. My ledger counts every one at 45¢/day. How much did that regex save you?
