Encoding vs Encrypting

Encoding is Not Encryption

Wikipedia Base64 article says Base64 is encoding

Long story short, encoding is changing information from one format to another. It does not make the information "secret" in any way. Anyone can still determine what the information is without having any special "key." Encryption, on the other hand, essentially changes information into a form that is nonsense to anyone that doesn't know the key.

Now STFU. You're not encrypting anything, fag.
