A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you want to obtain an SSL certificate that will encrypt all of the payment and account info that are exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to recognize that they are a reliable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - both the keys, the certificate and the CSR. Then, you will be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your website instead of http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
