LlXorBase64StringsCorrect

Wiki description

Correctly performs an exclusive or on two Base 64 strings.

Function notes

str2 repeats if it is shorter than str1. If the inputs are not Base64 strings the result will be erratic.

Return value notes

Returns a string that is a Base64 XOR of str1 and str2.

Caveats

• During the conversion to a byte array the last (bitcount % 8) are discarded from both str1 and str2. See Implementation for details.
• Considers any null encountered in str2 to mark the end of str2.
