Encoding Private Key with Base64 #54

Closed lynn-stephenson closed 3 years ago

lynn-stephenson commented 4 years ago

What is the point of encoding the private key with Base64 prior to encryption? This isn't standard, and could introduce issues. Specifically you're working with approx 64 bytes of data instead of the expected 256, again bringing down the permutations.
