What is Base32?
Base32 is an encoding scheme based on 32 printable characters, used to convert binary data into ASCII strings. It uses A-Z and 2-7 (a total of 32 characters) to represent data.
The main feature of Base32 encoding is that it can convert arbitrary binary data into text form, enabling it to be transmitted or stored in systems that do not support binary data.
Base32 Application Scenarios
- URL and file name encoding: avoiding issues caused by special characters
- Email systems: transmitting binary data in systems that do not support binary attachments
- One-time passwords (OTP): applications like Google Authenticator use Base32 to encode keys
- DNS records: some DNS record types like TXT records may use Base32 encoding
- File checksums: used to represent file checksums in some systems
Differences Between Base32 and Base64
| Feature | Base32 | Base64 |
|---|---|---|
| Character Set Size | 32 characters (A-Z, 2-7) | 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) |
| Encoding Efficiency | Lower (each 5 binary bits encoded as 1 character) | Higher (each 6 binary bits encoded as 1 character) |
| Case Sensitivity | Insensitive (usually in uppercase) | Sensitive |
| URL Friendliness | High (no URL special characters) | Requires additional conversion (contains + and /) |
Pros and Cons of Base32
Advantages
- Uses only uppercase letters and numbers 2-7, avoiding case confusion
- Contains no special characters, suitable for use in URLs, file names, etc.
- Encoded strings are easy to read and manually input
- Uses = as padding character, easy to identify and process
Disadvantages
- Lower encoding efficiency than Base64, resulting in longer strings
- Requires more storage space and bandwidth
- Built-in support is not as完善 as Base64 in some programming languages
