Encoding Process: metallica to bWV0YWxsaWNh

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
m01101101
e01100101
t01110100
a01100001
l01101100
l01101100
i01101001
c01100011
a01100001

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011011 010110 010101 110100 011000 010110 110001 101100 011010 010110 001101 100001

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011011b
010110W
010101V
1101000
011000Y
010110W
110001x
101100s
011010a
010110W
001101N
100001h

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "bWV0YWxsaWNh"
