A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you want to acquire an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account details which are exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to recognize that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR using their web browsers.
