A binary-to-text encoding is [[Code|encoding]] of [[Data (computing)|data]] in [[plain text]].

== Description ==

More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of [[Character (computing)|characters]].

These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the channel does not allow binary data (such as [[email]] or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.

PGP documentation (RFC 4880) uses the term ASCII armor for binary-to-text encoding when referring to Radix-64.
