I am using standard input and output to pass 2 base64 strings from one application to another. What would be the best way separating them so I could get them as a two separate strings in other application? I was thinking using a simple comma, to separate them and then just use
string[] s = output.Split(',');
Where output is the data I read in from standard output.
Example with the comma:

Your provider has to tell you the encryption algorithm and key. From the length of the base64 representation, it could be pretty much anything. Yet, as the other answer correctly said, you have no chance anyone can crack this for you here; without a key and the encryption method you will not get hold of the data.
From Wikipedia: The final '==' sequence indicates that the last group contained only one byte, and '=' indicates that it contained two bytes.
When decoding Base64 text, four characters are typically converted back to three bytes. The only exceptions are when padding characters exist. A single = indicates that the four characters will decode to only two bytes, while == indicates that the four characters will decode to only a single byte. For example: Encoded.
To decode a file with contents that are base64 encoded, you simply provide the path of the file with the --decode flag. As with encoding files, the output will be a very long string of the original file. You may want to output stdout directly to a file.
All you have to do is to use a separator which is not a valid Base64 character. Comma is not a base64 character so you can use.
Base64 characters are [0-9a-zA-Z/=+] (all numbers, uppercase, lowercase, forward slash plus and equal sign).

This seems like a good solution. The comma cannot be part of a base64 index table so it is a safe separator.
