Why? / How?
What is the difference between 2#1010# and 10#10# and 16#A#?
NOTHING! The Ada compiler recognizes these all as ways to write "ten".
What's the difference between 3 and 三 and ٣?
NOTHING! They are all representations of the concept/number: "Three".

Thus it is immaterial if the cryptographic function was 
dreamt-up/developed-with in binary, hex, Japanese or whatever... what 
matters is the mathematics behind it.
