Public Key Aggregation

Definition

Public key aggregation is a cryptographic technique that combines multiple public keys into a single, compact representation. This method allows a single aggregate public key to represent a group of individual public keys, significantly reducing the data size required for verification. It is particularly useful in systems requiring many participants to sign transactions, such as multi-signature schemes or proof-of-stake blockchains. The primary advantage lies in improving efficiency and scalability by compressing cryptographic data.
