Introduction

Tornado Cash' notes encrypted with X25519-XSalsa20-Poly1305 algorithm. Each note has structure:

- Nonce. 24 bytes: disposable random 24 bytes
- Ephemeral public key. 32 bytes. Public key for a point on Curve25519
- Encrypted message itself including 12 bytes of the Tag of XSalsa20Poly1305

Plain text has structure: {ContractAddress}-{CommitmentSecret} Examples:

• 0x6Bf694a291DF3FeC1f7e69701E3ab6c592435Ae7-0x0e2d09c3b49548799444ae871c1ad7e6dd6110f80e6db8f8e544c33c45234f56caae9b5b4d4d24e1ffbc92b3f94a2228efa28efb363ed96275983a9c64a3
• 0x84443CFd09A48AF6eF360C6976C5392aC5023a1F-0x8449131cdfbdb26c5834930477fd26425b7d637148414dd0f74fce7feb9b1d9b130e0342dfd9249beaae603e3b07f98a66604029a32d21356c82f224a15f

Notice(sic!) Contract address has "checksummed" format with capital letters.

Error on the site

At 2022-05-15 official Tornado Cash site has an implementation error: If your note's contract address not in the dictionary, the site will not show you ANY of your private notes. You could check it on Goerli network. Private note keys:

• 97a6f440ae04bd21dece386ed83ed65e7bc3405c271e4226f64ed421c197addb
• 97a6f440ae04bd21dece386ed83ed65e7bc3405c271e4226f64ed421c197addd

Public Interface

• Encrypter.CreateRawNoteFrom(string contractAddress, string commitmentSecret): string - Create plain non-crypted note
• Encrypter.EncryptNote(string rawNote, string/byte[] notePrivateKey): byte[] - Encrypt plain note to Encrypted Note format
• Decrypter.DecryptNote(string/byte[] encryptedNote, string/byte[] notePrivateKey): string - Create plain non-crypted note

Example

Encryption

var rawNote = Encrypter.CreateRawNoteFrom("0x6bf694a291df3fec1f7e69701e3ab6c592435ae7", "0x0e2d09c3b49548799444ae871c1ad7e6dd6110f80e6db8f8e544c33c45234f56caae9b5b4d4d24e1ffbc92b3f94a2228efa28efb363ed96275983a9c64a3");
var encryptedNote = Encrypter.EncryptNote(rawNote, "97a6f440ae04bd21dece386ed83ed65e7bc3405c271e4226f64ed421c197addb");

var encryptedNoteHex = string.Concat(encryptedNote.Select(t => t.ToFormat("X2")));
Console.WriteLine(encryptedNoteHex);

Decryption

var encryptedNoteHex = "A27BC84471DD85324572916B32D9E53536C189764010D628DBE5623D805E948F312B192E47D6F0A5C84BF0C7EEB2612916AAF14936C55C579181590D4926B1FFFD37A803303E4147326E61A21BE899D57403B356DF165D84C4228E63627A531ECB4688ABD3BDA925C8FAA1C19369097501C157FBF996BDE8E4A34B1ED51C75BF25B03ED92C1B319118F046EBBA392024DE528922000D98A1BAD0EA08AADC5ED27CF47A595C151C8CC196B23814873F914EB2D466459459BCD18E5827E29BE9699DB7AFF9D5A51BDC8C405845E3611A44058F121F969DA2AC4A101D409D9F74BABA6AE964F5B67E6454E7DBD5791675F02E"
Decrypter.DecryptNote(encryptedNoteHex, "97a6f440ae04bd21dece386ed83ed65e7bc3405c271e4226f64ed421c197addb");

Collisions / Format private keys

It's not obvious, but some area of private keys has been punched out of Curve25519. When receiving such an array, implementations of X25519 (but not X448) MUST mask the most significant bit in the final byte. This is done to preserve compatibility with point formats that reserve the sign bit for use in other protocols and to increase resistance to implementation fingerprinting.

There are still 2^252 bits for private keys. You could use this code to get sanified/formatted/main version of secret key.

privateKey = Curve25519Formatter.FormatPrivateKey(privateKey);
var collisions = GetAllCollisionPrivateKeys(privateKey);
