Definition ∞ Batched encryption is a cryptographic method that processes multiple data inputs or operations simultaneously within a single encryption procedure. This technique aims to enhance computational efficiency and throughput by reducing the overhead associated with individual encryption tasks. It groups distinct pieces of information, applying a shared or derived cryptographic function across them. The process yields a single output that securely represents the combined encrypted data.
Context ∞ In the context of blockchain and privacy-focused digital assets, batched encryption holds significance for scaling solutions and privacy protocols. It can optimize transaction processing on networks by encrypting several transactions together, potentially lowering costs and increasing network capacity. Developments in zero-knowledge proofs and other privacy technologies frequently utilize such methods to maintain data confidentiality while preserving verifiable integrity.
