When we want the encrypted text to be encoded in base 64, we will use hyphen a, the character the cipher text can be in any ASCII character. That is the way bits and bytes are maps. And that sometimes doesn't look good on the screen. The reasons for encoding base 64 has its history. And then it's out of the scope of this course. But it is one of the binary to text mapping schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format.
It is used everywhere as a sure way to encode any data between different systems and be sure that nothing's happened. to them. So Let's Encrypt our data and encode it in base 64. So we will use echo again. This text is about to be encoded in base 64 and less graphics into open SSL. We will use a Aes 128 bit key bits CBC mode operation and let's use the hyphen a to encode it base 64.
And that's salted also. We were asked for password remember the password is used to derive the key Your password is not the key. It is used it is one parameter to derive the key. And there it is. The cipher text encoded into base 64
