summary:
In the first two cases, the characters may have 4 or 2 extra trailing bits that don't represent any data. In this case, [RFC 4648](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-3.5) requires encoders to set these bits to zero and decoders to optionally throw an error if they are not zero. For example, if the encoded data is a single byte `0b01010101`, then it needs two characters `0b010101` (`V`) and `0b010000` (`Q`), where the second character has 4 trailing bits set to zero. Decoding `VR==` (where the second character represents `0b010001`) technically results in the same byte `0b01010101`, but the decoder may throw an error due to the trailing bits not being zero. ## [JavaScript support](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Base64#javascript_support) The [`Uint8Array`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array) class provides the [`Uint8Array.fromBase64()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array/fromBase64), [`Uint8Array.prototype.toBase64()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array/toBase64), and [`Uint8Array.prototype.setFromBase64()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array/setFromBase64) methods for conversion to/from base64 strings. Browsers also natively provide two JavaScript functions for decoding and encoding Base64 strings: * [`Window.btoa()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/btoa) (also [available in workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WorkerGlobalScope/btoa "available in workers")): creates a Base64-encoded ASCII string from a string of binary data ("btoa" should be read as "binary to ASCII"). * [`Window.atob()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/atob) (also [available in workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WorkerGlobalScope/atob "available in workers")): decodes a Base64-encoded string ("atob" should be read as "ASCII to binary"). **Note:** Base64 is a binary encoding rather than a text encoding, but `btoa`

summary:
# Block cipher mode of operation A **block cipher mode of operation** , usually just called a "mode" in context, specifies how a block cipher should be used to encrypt or decrypt messages that are longer than the block size. Most symmetric-key algorithms currently in use are block ciphers: this means that they encrypt data a block at a time. The size of each block is fixed and determined by the algorithm: for example AES uses 16-byte blocks. Block ciphers are always used with a _mode_ , which specifies how to securely encrypt messages that are longer than the block size. For example, AES is a cipher, while CTR, CBC, and GCM are all modes. Using an inappropriate mode, or using a mode incorrectly, can completely undermine the security provided by the underlying cipher. ## Help improve MDN [Learn how to contribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Community/Getting_started) This page was last modified on Jul 11, 2025 by [MDN contributors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation/contributors.txt).
