Base64. In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of printable characters, limited to a set of 64 unique characters. More specifically, the source binary data is taken 6 bits at a time, then this group of 6 bits is mapped to one of 64 unique characters.
A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters for specifying the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text, mathematical expressions or other data streams. [1][2] An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values.
JSONP, or JSON-P (JSON with Padding), is a historical JavaScript technique for requesting data by loading a <script> element, [1] which is an element intended to load ordinary JavaScript. It was proposed by Bob Ippolito in 2005. [2] JSONP enables sharing of data bypassing same-origin policy, which disallows running JavaScript code to read media ...
Data structure alignment is the way data is arranged and accessed in computer memory. It consists of three separate but related issues: data alignment, data structure padding, and packing. The CPU in modern computer hardware performs reads and writes to memory most efficiently when the data is naturally aligned, which generally means that the ...
A bit array (also known as bitmask, [ 1 ]bit map, bit set, bit string, or bit vector) is an array data structure that compactly stores bits. It can be used to implement a simple set data structure. A bit array is effective at exploiting bit-level parallelism in hardware to perform operations quickly. A typical bit array stores kw bits, where w ...
JSON Web Token. JSON Web Token (JWT, suggested pronunciation / dʒɒt /, same as the word "jot" [1]) is a proposed Internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims. The tokens are signed either using a private secret or a public/private key.
Padding (cryptography) In cryptography, padding is any of a number of distinct practices which all include adding data to the beginning, middle, or end of a message prior to encryption. In classical cryptography, padding may include adding nonsense phrases to a message to obscure the fact that many messages end in predictable ways, e.g ...
Aztec Code. Encoding: "This is an example Aztec symbol for Wikipedia." The Aztec Code is a matrix code invented by Andrew Longacre, Jr. and Robert Hussey in 1995. [ 1 ] The code was published by AIM, Inc. in 1997. Although the Aztec Code was patented, that patent was officially made public domain. [ 2 ]
