## Issue ElGamal encryption failed with "Invalid base64: 23:5:9..." error because: - `/api/votes/setup` stored public key as base64-encoded bytes - `/api/admin/init-keys` stored public key as raw UTF-8 bytes - Client received plain "p:g:h" text instead of base64, causing decoding failure ## Root Cause Inconsistent storage format: - votes.py line 505: `base64.b64encode(elgamal.public_key_bytes)` - admin.py line 169: `elgamal.public_key_bytes` (no encoding) - Return paths decoded base64 as UTF-8, exposing plain format to client ## Fix 1. Both endpoints now consistently store `base64.b64encode(elgamal.public_key_bytes)` 2. Return paths decode base64 to ASCII (which is valid base64 format) 3. Updated validation in admin.py to properly decode base64 before validation 4. Frontend ElGamalEncryption.encrypt() expects base64 input, now receives it correctly ## Files Changed - backend/routes/votes.py: Lines 505, 513, 550 - backend/routes/admin.py: Lines 159-162, 169, 182 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
