Interface BytesRepresentation

All Known Implementing Classes:

Base64Representation, HexRepresentation

public interface BytesRepresentation

Drives how byte arrays should be represented in String instances (typically output of hashing and encryption or input of decryption). It is common, that output hashes are in lower-cased HEX representation. On the other hand, representation for encryption algorithm varies. It is valid to use any representation as Base64 seems to be more common because it uses less characters than HEX.
