Key signatures refer to the group of sharps or flats shown at the beginning of sheet music - and usually on each line of the page.

C major (and A minor) has a key signature with no sharps or flats:

Sharps or flats are added for different keys. Each pair of relative majors + minors have the same signature.

The sharp keys are these:

And the flat keys are these:
