A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encode the payment and account info that are exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the website plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to show that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. After that, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the site visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
