fragmento de decodificación base64 en c++

Question

¿Alguien tiene un fragmento de código de decodificación base64 disponible gratuitamente en c ++?

Answer 1

Aquí está mi modificación de la implementación que fue escrita originalmente por René Nyffenegger . ¿Y por qué lo he modificado? Bueno, porque no me pareció apropiado que debería trabajar con datos binarios almacenados dentro del objeto std::string ;)

base64.h :

#ifndef _BASE64_H_
#define _BASE64_H_

#include <vector>
#include <string>
typedef unsigned char BYTE;

std::string base64_encode(BYTE const* buf, unsigned int bufLen);
std::vector<BYTE> base64_decode(std::string const&);

#endif

base64.cpp :

#include "base64.h"
#include <iostream>

static const std::string base64_chars = 
             "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
             "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
             "0123456789+/";


static inline bool is_base64(BYTE c) {
  return (isalnum(c) || (c == ''+'') || (c == ''/''));
}

std::string base64_encode(BYTE const* buf, unsigned int bufLen) {
  std::string ret;
  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;
  BYTE char_array_3[3];
  BYTE char_array_4[4];

  while (bufLen--) {
    char_array_3[i++] = *(buf++);
    if (i == 3) {
      char_array_4[0] = (char_array_3[0] & 0xfc) >> 2;
      char_array_4[1] = ((char_array_3[0] & 0x03) << 4) + ((char_array_3[1] & 0xf0) >> 4);
      char_array_4[2] = ((char_array_3[1] & 0x0f) << 2) + ((char_array_3[2] & 0xc0) >> 6);
      char_array_4[3] = char_array_3[2] & 0x3f;

      for(i = 0; (i <4) ; i++)
        ret += base64_chars[char_array_4[i]];
      i = 0;
    }
  }

  if (i)
  {
    for(j = i; j < 3; j++)
      char_array_3[j] = ''/0'';

    char_array_4[0] = (char_array_3[0] & 0xfc) >> 2;
    char_array_4[1] = ((char_array_3[0] & 0x03) << 4) + ((char_array_3[1] & 0xf0) >> 4);
    char_array_4[2] = ((char_array_3[1] & 0x0f) << 2) + ((char_array_3[2] & 0xc0) >> 6);
    char_array_4[3] = char_array_3[2] & 0x3f;

    for (j = 0; (j < i + 1); j++)
      ret += base64_chars[char_array_4[j]];

    while((i++ < 3))
      ret += ''='';
  }

  return ret;
}

std::vector<BYTE> base64_decode(std::string const& encoded_string) {
  int in_len = encoded_string.size();
  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;
  int in_ = 0;
  BYTE char_array_4[4], char_array_3[3];
  std::vector<BYTE> ret;

  while (in_len-- && ( encoded_string[in_] != ''='') && is_base64(encoded_string[in_])) {
    char_array_4[i++] = encoded_string[in_]; in_++;
    if (i ==4) {
      for (i = 0; i <4; i++)
        char_array_4[i] = base64_chars.find(char_array_4[i]);

      char_array_3[0] = (char_array_4[0] << 2) + ((char_array_4[1] & 0x30) >> 4);
      char_array_3[1] = ((char_array_4[1] & 0xf) << 4) + ((char_array_4[2] & 0x3c) >> 2);
      char_array_3[2] = ((char_array_4[2] & 0x3) << 6) + char_array_4[3];

      for (i = 0; (i < 3); i++)
          ret.push_back(char_array_3[i]);
      i = 0;
    }
  }

  if (i) {
    for (j = i; j <4; j++)
      char_array_4[j] = 0;

    for (j = 0; j <4; j++)
      char_array_4[j] = base64_chars.find(char_array_4[j]);

    char_array_3[0] = (char_array_4[0] << 2) + ((char_array_4[1] & 0x30) >> 4);
    char_array_3[1] = ((char_array_4[1] & 0xf) << 4) + ((char_array_4[2] & 0x3c) >> 2);
    char_array_3[2] = ((char_array_4[2] & 0x3) << 6) + char_array_4[3];

    for (j = 0; (j < i - 1); j++) ret.push_back(char_array_3[j]);
  }

  return ret;
}

Aquí está el uso:

std::vector<BYTE> myData;
...
std::string encodedData = base64_encode(&myData[0], myData.size());
std::vector<BYTE> decodedData = base64_decode(encodedData);

Espero que alguien encuentre útil esta respuesta ^^

Creo que este funciona mejor:

#include <cstring>

static const char* B64chars =

Gracias a @Jens Alfke por señalar un problema de rendimiento, hice algunas modificaciones a esta publicación anterior. Ahora esto funciona mucho más rápido que antes. La principal ventaja es que también puede manejar datos corruptos sin problemas.

Answer 3

Hay varios fragmentos aquí. Sin embargo, este es compacto, eficiente y amigable con c ++ 11:

static std::string base64_encode(const std::string &in) {

    std::string out;

    int val=0, valb=-6;
    for (uchar c : in) {
        val = (val<<8) + c;
        valb += 8;
        while (valb>=0) {
            out.push_back("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"[(val>>valb)&0x3F]);
            valb-=6;
        }
    }
    if (valb>-6) out.push_back("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"[((val<<8)>>(valb+8))&0x3F]);
    while (out.size()%4) out.push_back(''='');
    return out;
}

static std::string base64_decode(const std::string &in) {

    std::string out;

    std::vector<int> T(256,-1);
    for (int i=0; i<64; i++) T["ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"[i]] = i; 

    int val=0, valb=-8;
    for (uchar c : in) {
        if (T[c] == -1) break;
        val = (val<<6) + T[c];
        valb += 6;
        if (valb>=0) {
            out.push_back(char((val>>valb)&0xFF));
            valb-=8;
        }
    }
    return out;
}

Answer 4

Mi variación en la respuesta de @DaedalusAlpha. Evita copiar los parámetros a expensas de un par de pruebas.

Utiliza uint8_t en lugar de BYTE.

Agrega algunas funciones útiles para tratar con cadenas, aunque generalmente los datos de entrada son binarios y pueden tener cero bytes adentro, por lo que normalmente no deberían manipularse como una cadena (lo que a menudo implica datos terminados en nulo).

También agrega algunos lanzamientos para corregir las advertencias del compilador (al menos en GCC, aún no lo he pasado por MSVC).

parte de base64.hpp:

   void base64_encode(string & out, const vector<uint8_t>& buf);
   void base64_encode(string & out, const uint8_t* buf, size_t bufLen);
   void base64_encode(string & out, string const& buf);

   void base64_decode(vector<uint8_t> & out, string const& encoded_string);

   // use this if you know the output should be a valid string
   void base64_decode(string & out, string const& encoded_string);

base64.cpp:

static const uint8_t from_base64[128] = {
   // 8 rows of 16 = 128
   // note: only require 123 entries, as we only lookup for <= z , which z=122

Answer 5

Una pequeña variación con una tabla de búsqueda más compacta y usando las características de c ++ 17:

std::string base64_decode(const std::string_view in) {
  // table from ''+'' to ''z''
  const uint8_t lookup[] = {
      62,  255, 62,  255, 63,  52,  53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 255,
      255, 0,   255, 255, 255, 255, 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,
      10,  11,  12,  13,  14,  15,  16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25,
      255, 255, 255, 255, 63,  255, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,
      36,  37,  38,  39,  40,  41,  42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51};
  static_assert(sizeof(lookup) == ''z'' - ''+'' + 1);

  std::string out;
  int val = 0, valb = -8;
  for (uint8_t c : in) {
    if (c < ''+'' || c > ''z'')
      break;
    c -= ''+'';
    if (lookup[c] >= 64)
      break;
    val = (val << 6) + lookup[c];
    valb += 6;
    if (valb >= 0) {
      out.push_back(char((val >> valb) & 0xFF));
      valb -= 8;
    }
  }
  return out;
}

Si no tiene std :: string_view, intente en su lugar std :: experimental :: string_view.

Answer 6

Usando base-n mini lib, puede hacer lo siguiente:

some_data_t in[] { ... };
constexpr int len = sizeof(in)/sizeof(in[0]);

std::string encoded;
bn::encode_b64(in, in + len, std::back_inserter(encoded));

some_data_t out[len];
bn::decode_b64(encoded.begin(), encoded.end(), out);

La API es genérica, basada en iteradores.

Answer 8

De acuerdo con this excelente comparación realizada por GaspardP, no elegiría esta solución. No es lo peor, pero tampoco es lo mejor. Lo único que funciona es que es posiblemente más fácil de entender.

Encontré que las otras dos respuestas son bastante difíciles de entender. También producen algunas advertencias en mi compilador y el uso de una función de búsqueda en la parte de decodificación debería dar como resultado una eficacia bastante mala. Así que decidí hacer mi propia versión.

Encabezamiento:

#ifndef _BASE64_H_
#define _BASE64_H_

#include <vector>
#include <string>
typedef unsigned char BYTE;

class Base64
{
public:
    static std::string encode(const std::vector<BYTE>& buf);
    static std::string encode(const BYTE* buf, unsigned int bufLen);
    static std::vector<BYTE> decode(std::string encoded_string);
};

#endif

Cuerpo:

static const BYTE from_base64[] = { 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255,  
                                    255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255,

}

Uso:

BYTE buf[] = "ABCD";
std::string encoded = Base64::encode(buf, 4);
// encoded = "QUJDRA=="
std::vector<BYTE> decoded = Base64::decode(encoded);

Una ventaja aquí es que la función de decodificación también puede decodificar la variante url de la codificación de la base 64.
