Encoding Process: retire to cmV0aXJl

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
r01110010
e01100101
t01110100
i01101001
r01110010
e01100101

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 100110 010101 110100 011010 010111 001001 100101

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011100c
100110m
010101V
1101000
011010a
010111X
001001J
100101l

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "cmV0aXJl"
