Class Base58

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.crypto.encoding.Base58
public final class Base58 extends Object
Base58 encoding with the Bitcoin alphabet. Each leading zero byte is written as a leading 1 and vice versa. The conversion works on an int array of limbs, so it is quadratic in the length but has no big-number allocation.
