Line 1: A '''binary-to-text encoding''' is [[Character encoding\|encoding]] of data in [[plain text]]. More precisely, it is an encoding of [[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]]. [[Pretty_Good_Privacy\|PGP]] documentation uses the term ''ASCII armor'' for binary-to-text encoding when referring to [[Radix-64]]. ==Description==
