      • isArrayByteBase64

        public static boolean isArrayByteBase64​(byte[] arrayOctect)
        Tests a given byte array to see if it contains only valid characters within the Base64 alphabet.
        Parameters:
        arrayOctect - byte array to test
        Returns:
        true if all bytes are valid characters in the Base64 alphabet or if the byte array is empty; false, otherwise

      • encodeBase64

        public static byte[] encodeBase64​(byte[] binaryData)
        Encodes binary data using the base64 algorithm but does not chunk the output.
        Parameters:
        binaryData - binary data to encode
        Returns:
        Base64 characters

      • encodeBase64Chunked

        public static byte[] encodeBase64Chunked​(byte[] binaryData)
        Encodes binary data using the base64 algorithm and chunks the encoded output into 76 character blocks
        Parameters:
        binaryData - binary data to encode
        Returns:
        Base64 characters chunked in 76 character blocks

      • decode

        public byte[] decode​(byte[] pArray)
        Decodes a byte[] containing containing characters in the Base64 alphabet.
        Parameters:
        pArray - A byte array containing Base64 character data
        Returns:
        a byte array containing binary data

      • encodeBase64
