The key signature for D Minor is 1 flat. Here is the difference between D major and D minor:
D Major: D E F# G A B C# D
D Minor: D E F G A Bflat C D
However, there are 3 commonly used forms of Minor Scales. The above is called the "natural minor", or Aeolian Mode.
In the harmonic minor scale, the 7th note is raised one semitone, to C#. However, this added sharp does not appear in the key signature.
In the melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th notes are raised in ascending, to B and C#, but restored to the natural minor form in descending. However, these changes do not appear in the key signature.
In the D minor pentatonic scale, used frequently in Rock, only the following notes are used:
D - F G A - C D
This form can be notated with or without a key signature, but a key signature of one flat (Bb) lets us know that D is the tonic!

What is meant by the Dorian key signature?
A Dorian key signature is an earlier style of key signature used on pieces in minor keys. A good example is J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 538, that was notated with a key signature of zero flats rather than the one flat of a contemporary key signature notation for D Minor. The Dorian mode is a mode of the major scale built off of the second scale degree of a major scale and, therefore, a Dorian key signature for D Minor would be the signature for the major scale a whole step below: C Major...therefore zero flats. The D Dorian scale is spelled D, E, F, G, A, B, C and therefore shares the same key signature as C Major in this older notational system. It is now customary within the western tonal system to relate minor keys to the key signature of the major key found a minor third above. D Minor is now written with one flat, the key signature of F Major. Today the "natural minor" scale or Aeolian mode (the mode built off the 6th scale degree of major) is the common reference point for a minor key's key signature.
