Co-Signing

Beginner

The act of a second party adding their cryptographic signature to a transaction that has already been signed by the first party. In SSP's 2-of-2 model, co-signing is the final step: SSP Key receives the partially signed transaction from SSP Wallet (via the relay), validates the details, and applies the second signature before broadcast. Neither party can unilaterally complete the transaction.
