Indeed:

  >>> base64.b64decode('SEcPB1mYNrfeE4zP4RI3z2K4Rh9HDNfPhuF28IyxHFjEOJ9Z+1zdIwPF0jsJGQDJyKpAju7dcYueHHXXeH8d+w==')

But as you say, it is base64 compatible. Maybe the 'SEcP...' string is base64 
encoding of some encapsulation of the encrypted string?

Given that Dave Angel has a tool that displays the 'SEcP...' string using 
mhr1224's input string, I'd say we're missing some context.
