A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when you would like to acquire an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and account info which are exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, a licensed SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they are a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - both the keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Next, you can use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
