A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you wish to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and account info which will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and email, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, an authorized SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they're a dependable issuer. At the time of 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 along with the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
