feat!: alternative key registry contract (#7523)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is a tentative redesign of the key registry contract, which lets us
read all 4 keys in a single merkle inclusion proof, while also
performing fewer public storage writes. It relies on `PublicMutable`
with custom deadlines instead of `SharedMutable` as the key registry
must be lax during reads to prevent abuse from accounts performing
frequent rotation.

This is meant to be a proof of concept and reference for discussion, so
there are no tests yet. If we were to adopt this contract it should be
relatively straightforward to replace the current getters with
`get_current_public_keys`.

---

Update: we've now decided to move forward with this design, even if
whether we actually do have full key rotation is up for debate. This is
a good middle ground in terms of the code being performant and easy to
either add or remove rotation in the future.

What this PR does is introduce the new registry and switch all old
contracts to use it. They'll be using historical mode, i.e. reading keys
at a specific block in the past instead of reading the current keys,
resulting in no max block number constraints. This is a departure from
the current behavior, but is only temporary until we switch over from
the old API to the new one
(#7953) so that we
can then benefit from reduce gate counts
(#7954). I've also
left the original contract, libraries, etc., unmodified so as to later
delete them cleanly instead of making this PR too messy
(#7955).

## Key rotation

To prevent users from needing to migrate all their positions if some of their keys are leaked we allow for key rotation.
Key rotation can be performed by calling the corresponding function on key registry.

These guardrails are typically in place so a user should not lose her notes even if this unfortunate accident happens.

## Scoped keys

To minimize damage of potential key leaks the keys are scoped (also called app-siloed) to the contract that requests them.
This means that the keys used for the same user in two different application contracts will be different and potential leak of the scoped keys would only affect 1 application.

## Protocol key types

All the keys below are Grumpkin keys (public keys derived on the Grumpkin curve).

## Nullifier keys

Whenever a note is consumed, a nullifier deterministically derived from it is emitted.
This mechanisms prevents double-spends, since nullifiers are checked by the protocol to be unique.
Now, in order to preserve privacy, a third party should not be able to link a note hash to its nullifier - this link is enforced by the note implementation.

Validity of `nsk_app` is verified by our [protocol kernel circuits](../../../protocol-specs/circuits/private-kernel-tail#verifying-and-splitting-ordered-data).

## Incoming viewing keys

The public key (denoted `Ivpk`) is used to encrypt a note for a recipient and the corresponding secret key (`ivsk`) is used by the recipient during decryption.

## Outgoing viewing keys

App-siloed versions of outgoing viewing keys are denoted `ovsk_app` and `Ovpk_app`.
These keys are used to encrypt a note for a note sender which is necessary for reconstructing transaction history from on-chain data.
For example, during a token transfer, the token contract may dictate that the sender encrypts the note with value with the recipient's `Ivpk`, but also records the transfer with its own `Ovpk_app` for bookkeeping purposes.
If these keys were not used and a new device would be synched there would be no "direct" information available about notes that a user created for other people.

## Tagging keys

Used to compute tags in a [tagging note discovery scheme](../../../protocol-specs/private-message-delivery/private-msg-delivery#note-tagging).
