5. plaintext Y3JlZGl0LWNhcmQtbnVtYmVyCg==

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

All plaintext data must be base64-encoded. The reason for this requirement is that Vault does not require that the plaintext is "text". It could be a binary file such as a PDF or image. The easiest safe transport mechanism for this data as part of a JSON payload is to base64-encode it.
