After replacing the spooky-labs/base64url library with another one, you lost backward compatibility since the new library can't decode standard base64 (non-URL safe). Also, the new library is much slower since it uses a pure PHP implementation of the base64 decoding algorithm.
This PR contains tests only, which are now falling on the master branch.
I would to borrow code here (from the old library) https://github.com/Spomky-Labs/base64url/blob/v2.x/src/Base64Url.php
and place it directly in the package, and refactor the code, of course.
The ideal solution would be to extract Base64 encoder as a dependency while adding the possibility of passing a custom encoder as a parameter.
Pseudo-code:
However, it will require deep refractory; for example, the Encryption class must not be static anymore.
