Obtaining same Base64 encoded output of encrypted string in Java and JavaScript

After getting byte array encryptedMessageInBytes from AES encryption function call cipher.doFinal in Java, I convert the byte array to base64 like this:
String encryptedMessageInBase64 = new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(encryptedMessageInBytes));
In JavaScript, I simply do .toString() to the output I get from CryptoJS.AES.encrypt method and I get exact same base64 string. i.e.
var encryptedMessageInBase64 = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase").toString();
It gives same base64 string as in Java code.
However, in one of the Java source code, they have done like this:
String encryptedMessageInBase64 = Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedMessageInBytes);
What shall I do in JavaScript to obtain same base64 string?

Here is answer:
However, in one of the Java source code, they have done like this:
String encryptedMessageInBase64 = Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedMessageInBytes);*
Here, basically they have done UrlEncoding instead of Base64 encoding. It is nothing but replacing + and / characters with - and _ characters. Url encoding is when we want to send encoded string over HTTP where it treats these two as special characters this is why we need to replace them with some other characters which are HTTP friendly.

Decode Base64 with UCS-2 Encoding

I want to decode the Base64 result of MS-SQL Server in javascript, but I can't find a true solution. I know SQL Server uses UCS-2 encoding, and I have to use the same encoding to decode in javascript.
For example, for MwZEBicGRQY= the encoded result must be سلام.
Do you have any solution to decode that using javascript?

You can first decode your base64 data into an Uint8Array, and then read the resulting data as UTF-16:
const base64_string = "MwZEBicGRQY";
// from https://stackoverflow.com/a/41106346/3702797
// may not be bullet-proof
const arr = Uint8Array.from(atob(base64_string), c => c.charCodeAt(0))
const decoded = new TextDecoder("UTF-16").decode(arr);
console.log(decoded);

Encode in Java and Decode in Javascript

I want to pass a Base64 Image to the front end in a parameter.
I tried to send normal Base64 but it was giving me an error, probably because of the special characters in the Base64 Image.
So I tried in Java:
String base64Signature = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(image); // Encode to base64
return URLEncoder.encode(base64Signature, "utf-8"); // This class contains static methods for converting a String to the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIMEformat
And in Javascript data.Signature has the image data. Neither
vm.Signature = data.Signature;
or
vm.Signature = decodeURIComponent(data.Signature);
worked. I copied the image data String in a online converter and it didn't display anything.
How should I do this?

The problem could be that Java's URLEncoder encodes spaces as + signs and JavaScript's decoder expects spaces as %20s. You can try replacing the + signs, for example:
decodeURIComponent(data.Signature.replace(/\+/g, '%20'));

base64 encoding in javascript decoding in php

I am trying to encode a string in javascript and decode it in php.
I use this code to put the string in a inputbox and then send it via form PUT.
document.getElementById('signature').value= b64EncodeUnicode(ab2str(signature));
And this code to decode
$signature=base64_decode($signature);
Here there is a jsfiddle for the encoding page:
https://jsfiddle.net/okaea662/
The problem is that I always get a string 98% correct but with some different characters.
For example: (the first string is the string printed in the inputbox)
¦S÷ä½m0×C|u>£áWÅàUù»¥ïs7Dþ1Ji%ýÊ{\ö°(úýýÁñxçO9Ù¡ö}XÇIWçβÆü8ú²ðÑOA¤nì6S+̽ i¼?¼ºNËÒo·a©8»eO|PPþBE=HèÑqaX©$Ì磰©b2(Ðç.$nÈR,ä_OX¾xè¥3éÂòkå¾ N,sáW§ÝáV:ö~Å×à<4)íÇKo¡L¤<Í»äA(!xón#WÙÕGù¾g!)ùC)]Q(*}?­Ìp
¦S÷ ä½m0×C|u>£áWÅàUù»¥ïs7Dþ1Ji%ýÊ{\ö°(úýýÁñxçO9Ù¡ö}XÇIWçβÆü8ú²ðÑOA¤nì6S+̽ i¼?¼ºNËÒo·a©8»eO|PPþBE=HèÑ qaX©$Ì磰©b2(Ðç.$nÈR,ä_OX¾xè¥3éÂòkå¾ N ,sá W§ÝáV:ö~Å×à<4)íÇKo¡L¤<Í»äA(!xón#WÙÕGù¾g!)ùC)]Q(*}?­Ìp
Note that the 4th character is distinct and then there is one or two more somewhere.
The string corresponds to a digital signature so these characters make the signature to be invalid.
I have no idea what is happening here. Any idea? I use Chrome browser and utf-8 encoding in header and metas (Firefox seems to use a different encoding in the inputbox but I will look that problem later)
EDIT:
The encoding to base64 apparently is not the problem. The base64 encoded string is the same in the browser than in the server. If I base64-decode it in javascript I get the original string but if I decode it in PHP I get a slightly different string.
EDIT2:
I still don't know what the problem is but I have avoided it sending the data in a blob with ajax.

Try using this command to encode your string with js:
var signature = document.getElementById('signature');
var base64 = window.btoa(signature);
Now with php, you simply use: base64_decode($signature)
If that doesn't work (I haven't tested it) there may be something wrong with the btoa func. So checkout this link here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding
There is a function in there that should work (if the above does not)
function b64EncodeUnicode(str) {
return btoa(encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/%([0-9A-F]{2})/g, function(match, p1) {
return String.fromCharCode('0x' + p1);
}));
}
b64EncodeUnicode(signature); // "4pyTIMOgIGxhIG1vZGU="

Texture2D to byte[] to String

I am having issues in turning Texture2D type image to bytes and then to string. When I do the following:
var myTextureBytes : byte[] = myTexture.EncodeToPNG();
Debug.Log(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(myTextureBytes));
I just get a log output of "�PNG". Why is it so short? Whats the question mark? Shouldn't Unity be able to interpret UTF-8 chars? Also when I send that to my NodeJS server it says SyntaxError: Unexpected token and crashes the server.

the problem is that the bytes of PNG representation of the texture is not UTF-8 encoded, which is only for text.
To convert binary data to a string I would recommend base64 encoding.
var myTextureBytes : byte[] = myTexture.EncodeToPNG();
var myTextureBytesEncodedAsBase64 : String = System.Convert.ToBase64String(myTextureBytes);

have you tried using Default encoding?
Debug.Log(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(myTextureBytes));
