Bulk encryption: The process of encrypting large amounts of data, often during transit, to protect it from unauthorized access or tampering. This type of encryption can be applied at various levels, such as the file system, disk, or network level, and is often employed in secure data storage or transmission systems. The choice of encryption algorithm, key length, and encryption mode can significantly impact the security level and performance of the bulk encryption process.
