Tool for encryption/decryption in Base91. BasE91 is an encoding method that uses ASCII characters. Similar to base64, it has the advantage of limiting the size of the encoded data and to be used as a cipher.

Answers to Questions
How to encrypt using Base91 cipher?
Encryption uses a method similar to base64 but with an expanded alphabet to 91 characters: the 94 printable ASCII characters (from 0x21 to 0x7E) omitting -: dash (0x2D), \: backslash (0x5C) and ': apostrophe (0x27).
To simplify, the data is divided into 13-bit packets (ie 2 ^ 13 = 8192 values) which are then encoded in 2 letters of the alphabet (which contains 91 characters and 91 ^ 2 = 8281).
Example: DCODE is coded xJ,Jc,A in BasE91
How to decrypt Base91 cipher?
The decryption performs the inverse conversion to base 91.
To simplify, the message is split into groups of 2 letters which are converted into 13-bit data. The message is then read with the original encoding (ASCII or Unicode).
Example: The message encoded in Base 91 xJ,Jc,A is decoded in DCODE.
How to recognize BasE91 ciphertext?
The message is composed only of printable ASCII characters (except dash, backslash and apostrophe) that is 91 characters maximum.
When Base91 have been invented ?
Joachim Henke claim it was invented in 2005, see []
