| Nov 20, 2019 at 19:08 | comment | added | Josh Eller | I'm not sure what other way you could interpret "communication between N users". If I wanted to describe the meaning you got, I would say "communication from 1 user to N users". | |

| Nov 20, 2019 at 12:27 | comment | added | Student123843 | @SamG101 yeah, but this kind of question always says communication between N users, why would someone think that it's not a single communication between the N of them, but rather, 10 peer to peer communications? | |
| Nov 20, 2019 at 12:21 | comment | added | Student123843 | @SEJPM We would all use the same two keys. Copy and paste the keys. There would be no "my own key", but rather "our own key". If the purpose is to communicate between us, why use more? | |

| Nov 20, 2019 at 11:09 | comment | added | SamG101 | Each person needs the public key of everyone else to encrypt to them, so 10 key pairs are created, 1 per person. Everyone needs a different key pair so that noone can read info that's not for them. | |
