    Description

      For tutorial pages for client side field level encryption, when drivers give example keys, they should use base64 strings in their examples. The intent is to provide a familiar experience to customers regardless of which driver or the shell they use. Drivers are free to support construction from other inputs (i.e. byte arrays, etc), but the examples should use base64. While a conversion from a base64 string may be more expensive then just initializing from a byte array in a given language, the goal is to provide a consistent driver docs experience.

      Example of a possible base64 96-bstring:
      "THISooISooANooEXAMPLEooSTRINGooooYOUooSHOULDooCHANGEooTHISooSTRINGooFORooPRODUCTIONoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
