tinc - Jan 2015 - Public Key format

I'm writing a storage app for storing the Ed25519 pub keys and want to do
some basic verification when a user submits their public key.

Is it just A-Za-z0-9 ? or can it contain special chars as well?

I'm assuming it will be in the range of printable characters?

It is base64, so a handfull more characters are allowed, but all 
printable.

(would have to lookup the exact chars used)

It's standard base64 encoding, without padding characters. The allowed
characters are: A-Z a-z 0-9 + /
