The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% (versus 33% for base64) and can range down to 14%, which typically occurs on 0-byte blocks. This makes basE91 very useful for transferring larger files over binary insecure connections like e-mail or terminal lines.That word should be safety, not security. Safety here means the message does not get mangled, security on the other hand would mean things like encryption.
HI,
this description is from the upstream readme. I have submited a bug report to ask for a correction.
Should I patch the readme inbetween ? Franck
