Encoding Process: lafayette to bGFmYXlldHRl

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
l01101100
a01100001
f01100110
a01100001
y01111001
e01100101
t01110100
t01110100
e01100101

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011011 000110 000101 100110 011000 010111 100101 100101 011101 000111 010001 100101

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011011b
000110G
000101F
