In addition to deriving encryption keys, the privacy master key is used for deriving nullifier secrets. Whenever a private 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 commitment to its nullifier - this link is enforced by the note implementation. Therefore, calculating the nullifier for a note requires a secret from its owner.

An application in Aztec.nr can request a nullifier from the current user for computing the nullifier of a note via the `get_secret_key` oracle call:
