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
t	01110100
h	01101000
u	01110101
m	01101101
b	01100010
z	01111010
i	01101001
l	01101100
l	01101100
a	01100001

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011101 000110 100001 110101 011011 010110 001001 111010 011010 010110 110001 101100 011000 01

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011101	d
000110	G
100001	h
110101	1
011011	b
010110	W
001001	J
111010	6
011010	a
010110	W
110001	x
101100	s
011000	Y
01	Q

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "dGh1bWJ6aWxsYQ=="
