Multisig
An authorization arrangement that requires signatures from a specified number of distinct keys.
In more detail
A two-of-three setup needs two of its three authorized keys to sign. This spreads control and can allow one missing signer. Who holds each key, how independent they are and how recovery works determine practical security; three keys on one compromised device provide little separation.
