Base32 Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Use cases: Enables RFC-compliant Base32 encoding/decoding for OTP generation (e.g., 2FA tokens), URL-safe shortening, or data obfuscation where case-insensitive encoding is required.
• Build vs buy: Eliminates the need for custom implementation (error-prone for RFC compliance), saving engineering time and reducing security risks.
• Roadmap alignment: Supports security-focused features (e.g., authentication workflows) without custom development, accelerating delivery of compliance-critical functionality.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when: Your project requires strict RFC 4648 compliance, uses PHP 7.2+ or 8.0, needs hex alphabet support (Base32Hex), or handles OTP/2FA workflows.
• Look elsewhere if: PHP version is <7.2, Base64 is needed instead, or there’s a requirement for active maintenance (last release was 2021, though stability is proven via test vectors and bug fixes in prior versions).

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

This MIT-licensed package delivers a battle-tested, RFC-compliant Base32 solution used in production OTP systems. For executives: it’s zero-cost, accelerates feature delivery (like 2FA), and mitigates security risks from custom code. For engineering: it’s lightweight, thoroughly tested, integrates seamlessly via
