Base64String (Parent module for everything of interest. 5.6 API)

java.lang.Object
- edu.uiuc.ncsa.security.util.pkcs.Base64String

```
public class Base64String
extends Object
```
Wrapper for Base 64 encoded strings. The assumption is that this is created around a string that is a base 64 encoding of something. If you use the byte constructor,Base64String(byte[]) this will do the base 64 encoding for you. This allows typing so we don't pass b64 encoded strings around by accident. calling toString returns the decoded value.
