+/// This function returns a new \c std::string object that stores a text
+/// encoded in the base64 format for the given \c binary %data.
+/// The resulting string will be a valid, canonical form of base64
+/// representation as specified in RFC4648.
+///
+/// If memory allocation for the returned string fails, a corresponding
+/// standard exception will be thrown.  This function never throws exceptions
+/// otherwise.
+///
+/// \param binary A vector object storing the data to be encoded. 
+/// \return A newly created string that stores base64 encoded value for binary.

+/// \brief Decode a text encoded in the base64 format into the original %data.
+///
+/// The \c input argument must be a valid string represented in the base64
+/// format as specified in RFC4648.  Space characters (spaces, tabs, newlines)
+/// can be included in \c input and will be ignored.  Without spaces, the
+/// length of string must be a multiple of 4 bytes with necessary paddings.
+/// Also it must be encoded using the canonical encoding (see RFC4648).
+/// If any of these conditions is not met, an exception of class
+/// \c isc::BadValue will be thrown.
+///
+/// If \c result doesn't have sufficient capacity to store all decoded %data
+/// and memory allocation fails, a corresponding standard exception will be
+/// thrown.  If the caller knows the necessary length (which can in theory
+/// be calculated from the input string), this situation can be avoided by
+/// reserving sufficient space for \c result beforehand.
+///
+/// Any existing %data in \c result will be removed.  This is the case in some
+/// of the cases where an exception is thrown; that is, this function only
+/// provides the basic exception guarantee.
+///
+/// \param input A text encoded in the base64 format.
+/// \param result A vector in which the decoded %data is to be stored.
