## DashPay

:::{dropdown} Can someone tell when Dash is sent from one username to another?

No. Although contact requests are public in Dash Platform, the extended public keys are encrypted in
such a way that only the two users involved in a contact's two way relationship can decrypt those
keys. This ensures that when any two users make payments in DashPay, only they know the sender and
receiver while 3rd parties do not. This means that outside observers cannot link the identities
involved in the transaction.

See the [DashPay DIP](https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0015.md) for more details.

:::{dropdown} What info is encrypted, how is it encrypted and who can decrypt it?

Your extended public (xPub) key is encrypted with an ECDH shared key when you send a contact request
to someone else. Only the recipient of the contact request can decrypt the information in the
document.

See the [DashPay DIP](https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0015.md#the-contact-request)
for more details.
