Base32

Base32 is a derivation of Base64 with the following additional properties:

1. The resulting character set is all uppercase, which can often be beneficial when using a case-sensitive filesystem.
2. The result can be included in a URL without escaping any characters.

It is a notation for expressing large numbers in a form that can be conveniently and accurately transmitted between humans and computer systems.
