Multi-signing

Plain definition. Multi-signing is a way to approve transactions on the XRP Ledger using a combination of several secret keys instead of just one.

Technical definition. Multi-signing in the XRP Ledger is a method of authorizing transactions by using a combination of multiple secret keys, and it requires a signer list of 1 to 32 addresses set with the SignerListSet transaction. Each signer gets a weight, and the quorum is the minimum weight total required to authorize a transaction. A multi-signed transaction must include the SigningPubKey field as an empty string and a Signers field holding an array of signatures whose combined weight is equal to or greater than the quorum.
