[https://m.chance.cz/vegas Slot machine]{{anchor|ASCII armor}} A '''binary-to-text encoding''' is [[code|encoding]] of [[data (computing)|data]] in [[plain text]]. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of [[character (computing)|printable characters]]. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the [[communication channel]] does not allow binary data (such as [[email]] or [[NNTP]]) or is not [[8-bit clean]]. [[Pretty Good Privacy|PGP]] documentation ({{IETF RFC|4880}}) uses the term "'''ASCII armor'''" for binary-to-text encoding when referring to [[Base64]].
