Line 1: A '''binary to text encoding''' is an [[encoding]] of data in [[plain text]]. More precisely, it is an encoding of [[binary and text files\|binary data]] in a sequence of [[ASCII]] printable characters. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the channel or the protocol only allows ASCII printable characters, such as [[e-mail]] or [[usenet]]. The technique is also, rarely, referred to as '''ASCII Armor''', although this appears to be used primarily in [[PGP]] documentation when referring to [[Radix-64]]. ==Description==
