Provides C functions for encoding binary data into a printable representation using Base64, Base32, Base16 (hex), or Base85/Ascii85 character sets, plus equivalent functions for the decoding of such encoded data back into its binary form.

RFC 1924 describes a compact, fixed-size representation of IPv6 addresses which uses a base 85 number system. The base 85 numbers (from 0 to 84) are as follows: 0..9 A..Z a..z ! # $ % & ( ) * + - ; < = > ? @ ^ _ ` { | } ~ In order to let human beings pronounce the resulting string more easily and to be able to use base 85 encoding in DNS naming schemes, an alternative encoding scheme is used, based on 85 consonant-vowel pairs, as suggested by DGolden on Slashdot...

pyascii85 is a Python extension written in C, that provides Ascii85 data encodings, also known as Base85. It can encode and decode files or text buffers, and is useful for encoding data to be used within PostScript and PDF files, such as raw RGB images.

Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) frontend using libtomcrypt. It simply writes pseudorandom data (using sober-128, fortuna, yarrow or rc4 algorithm) on standard output. The output may be encoded to base64, base85 or hex or just left binary.

This is a C++ reference implementation of a Base85 encoding suitable for XML. A document defining the encoding will soon be submitted to the IETF for consideration for RFC status. This implementation supports incremental encoding and decoding of a stream.

As you may have guessed, Base85x-java is an implementation of the base85x encoding scheme in Java. Base85x is a way to store binary data within XML files. It is a new version of ASCII85/Base85 but uses an alphabet without the characters [!”#&’<=>\]. Thus no escaping is required. Base85 in general stores 4 bytes of binary input data in 5 printable characters. I.e. there is a 25 % overhead. Base85x-java is licensed under the MIT license.
