HTTPS sounds reasonable, but you can do a few more tricks with binary data.
This might get you there:
xdmp:hex-to-integer(
string(xs:hexBinary(xs:base64Binary('JxrHeSl2YX4LunZkWKZqog=='))))
The result is an xs:decimal 18446744073709551615 - is that what you need? You
might want to construct an xs:unsignedLong from it, and use xdmp:not64() and
its siblings for the math.
