    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication

    The resulting string is encoded using a variant of Base64 (+/ and with padding). The authorization method and a space character (e.g. "Basic ") is then prepended to the encoded string. For example, if the browser uses Aladdin as the username and open sesame as the password, then the field's value is the Base64 encoding of Aladdin:open sesame ...

  3. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    Because Base64 is a six-bit encoding, and because the decoded values are divided into 8-bit octets, every four characters of Base64-encoded text (4 sextets = 4 × 6 = 24 bits) represents three octets of unencoded text or data (3 octets = 3 × 8 = 24 bits). This means that when the length of the unencoded input is not a multiple of three, the ...

  5. OTPW - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTPW

    OTPW uses by default a base64 encoding instead, because that allows more passwords to be printed on a single page, with the same password entropy. In addition, an average human spy needs over 30 seconds to write a 12-character random string into short-term memory, which provides a good protection against brief looks that an attacker might have ...

  6. CRAM-MD5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRAM-MD5

    The decoded challenge is hashed using HMAC-MD5, with a shared secret (typically, the user's password, or a hash thereof) as the secret key. The hashed challenge is converted to a string of lowercase hex digits. The username and a space character are prepended to the hex digits. The concatenation is then base64-encoded and sent to the server

  7. Certificate signing request - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_signing_request

    The PKCS#10 standard defines a binary format for encoding CSRs for use with X.509. It is expressed in ASN.1. Here is an example of how you can examine its ASN.1 structure using OpenSSL: openssl asn1parse -i -in your_request.p10. A CSR may be represented as a Base64 encoded PKCS#10; an example of which is given below:

    To prevent the user name and password being read directly by a person, they are encoded as a sequence of base-64 characters before transmission. into something like As user name and password may contain special or even binary characters, they are encoded as a sequence of base-64 characters before transmission.
