I'm working to consume a web service that uses UsernameToken Profile 1.1 for authentication. Part of the process involves base64 and I'm having issues reproducing the PasswordDigest used in the web service examples:

Thus the Password_Digest of the above example used the nonce value “oWKh3qJUOqKS4JP5e1IcPg==”, the created value “2012-07-19T19:33:03.009Z” and the plain text password value “verySecret” to generate the value of “mDyN3ZYwGBSYA7nNrSVQbVqySH8=”.

Since encryption is done at the byte level; the following pseudo code represents such an operation:

BASE64_ENCODE( SHA1( BYTES_UTF( BASE64_DECODE(nonce) ) + BYTES_UTF(created) + BYTES_UTF(password) ) )

I get a different result from different Base64 Decode operations and I'm wondering why. Here's an example showing 4 different methods providing 4 different results.

public static void main(String args) 
 String nonce = "oWKh3qJUOqKS4JP5e1IcPg==";
 byte nonceBytes = nonce.getBytes();
 byte decodedFromApache = Base64.decodeBase64(nonceBytes);
 byte decodedFromJavaUtil = java.util.Base64.getDecoder().decode(nonceBytes);
 java.util.Base64.Decoder decoder = java.util.Base64.getDecoder();
 byte fromUtilDecoderOfBytes = decoder.decode(nonceBytes);
 byte fromUtilDecoderOfString = decoder.decode(nonce);


 System.out.println("From Apache: " + decodedFromApache.toString());
 System.out.println("From JavaUtil: " + decodedFromJavaUtil.toString());

 System.out.println("From UtilDecoder w/ byte param: " + fromUtilDecoderOfBytes);
 System.out.println("From UtilDecoder w/ string param: " + fromUtilDecoderOfString);

Here is the output that I'm getting running locally:

From Apache: [B@45ee12a7 
From JavaUtil: [B@330bedb4 
From UtilDecoder w/ byte param: [B@2503dbd3 
From UtilDecoder w/ string param: [B@4b67cf4d

I'm ultimately going to be doing the decode in C# and get yet another result over there with illegible/invalid characters. I feel like I'm missing something fundamental in regards to string to byte conversions. Thanks.
