About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: Two '=' characters are added when the input length modulo 3 equals 1. This happens because the input length leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, indicating that two more bytes are needed to complete the 3-byte group. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
c	01100011
a	01100001
s	01110011
s	01110011
i	01101001
d	01100100
y	01111001

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

The binary string is grouped into 6-bit chunks for Base64 encoding:

011000 110110 000101 110011 011100 110110 100101 100100 011110 01

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011000	Y
110110	2
000101	F
110011	z
011100	c
110110	2
100101	l
100100	k
011110	e
01	Q

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "Y2Fzc2lkeQ=="
