The minimum number of keys per user is indeed 10 as explained in the answer of Alexander . Or 11 if you assume that you also hold on to your own public key, but that's not required. Otherwise the answers are compatible with each other. | |

If it isn't computer based and you can leave comments, choose 20 and explain that you are talking about 10 key pairs. In the unlikely event that neither is possible, follow what they are saying just for the sake of getting a good grade. | |
| Nov 20, 2019 at 12:37 | comment | added | Student123843 | So some people (type A people) say "key" (1 key) when they mean "keypair" (2 keys), but not all people, right? Some people (type B people) would still count two keys. If that is so, what am I supposed to do the day of my test? How am I gonna be able to guess if the guy who made the question and the answer is a type A or a type B? | |
