I have read many research papers, articles and the iota documentation. However, I am still confused whether the address for restricted mode is

hash(merkle root) or hash(side_key + merkle root)

Please someone let me know. Thank you.

Indeed the docs and actual implementation seem to contradict each other.

If you follow what is now indicated to be the official implementation of MAM in javascript, then this line tells us that both private and restricted mode use the hash of the merkle root as address.

In the implementation the side key is only used as a revocable encryption key.
