You made me curious. I looked up the Wikipedia article on Base64 and found this: "OpenPGP, described in RFC 9580, specifies "ASCII armor", which is identical to the "Base64" encoding described by MIME, with the addition of an optional 24-bit CRC. The checksum is calculated on the input data before encoding; the checksum is then encoded with the same Base64 algorithm and, prefixed by the "=" symbol as the separator, appended to the encoded output data." That makes me wonder if they're using LI to pass encrypted messages in a public forum. Or maybe they just think they're 1337.
