kandi X-RAY | base65536 Summary
Base65536 is a binary encoding optimised for UTF-32-encoded text. (For transmitting data through Twitter, Base65536 is now considered obsolete; see Base2048.) This JavaScript module, base65536, is the first implementation of this encoding. Base65536 uses only "safe" Unicode code points - no unassigned code points, no whitespace, no control characters, etc.. Efficiency ratings are averaged over long inputs. Higher is better. * Up to 280 Unicode characters give or take Twitter's complex "weighting" calculation. † Base85 is listed for completeness but all variants use characters which are considered hazardous for general use in text: escape characters, brackets, punctuation etc.. ‡ Base131072 is a work in progress, not yet ready for general use.

QUESTION
Before we start, I want to say "hash" is a bit of a misnomer from what I actually want.
Basically, I have a program that returns a 92 character string (this is cryptographically secure) that I want to shorten, which is why I can't think of any other word but I'll need to be able to reverse it.
So I'm looking for some way that I can take the 92 character base64 string (s) and turn it into a much shorter string (n), and then reverse it.
So the encoding would be like (n) + (hash function) = (s)
And then I'll be able to decode it with (s) + (hash function) = (n)
. I don't need this to be secure since I handled that when generating the string.
I was using Base65536 but that was mostly for a quick joke since that would be impractical for an actual user.
TL;DR - I need a hash (or encryption) function that will generate short strings out of long ones.
Just to clarify, I do NOT need to compress the file size, I need a shorter string to return to the user.

Answered 2018-Mar-08 at 22:49The most space efficient way to store binary data is to store it as bytes. The only way you may get it even shorter is via compression. But for 92 Characters that will not amount to much.
As for Base64: There are cases where we are forced to transmit binary data over a medium not supporting random binary data. Mostly Textbase media (Email, XML files, HTML). So we use Base64 as a way to encode Binary Data. While it is lossless, it is less storage efficient. In effect every Byte of Input needs 1 1/4 byte in Base64 Output. It is never the ideal case to use Base64, more a nessesary evil.

I tried to install the base65536 module, by typing this into Terminal:
pip install base65536
Yet it produced this error:

Answered 2017-Apr-22 at 20:50When it says Permission Denied
that means that you are not an administrator on your computer and therefore cannot do this. Try running as administrator. If you are using windows, right click on app and select 'Run as Administrator'. If you are using mac, and you are not the administrator on your computer, type su (Whatever the name of the admin. user is)
For example, su adminUsername
Then type
pip install base65536
