Well, Base 64 is an encryption method...
No, base64 is an encoding variant which reduces the number of bits per byte transferred to 6. It was used to prevent stuff from being broken by being posted to Usenet. There is no key and no randomization, you just plainly shove off two bits into the next byte and pad up with =. Thus, no encryption at all.
