[BIP-324](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0324.mediawiki) is about that but afaik, the bitcoin network does not use encryption anywhere at the moment. But of course, I might be wrong. Please correct me in that case.

Yes, lightning uses encryption since it uses [onion routing](https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/blob/develop/10_onion_routing.asciidoc)
