A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when you want to get an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and account information which are exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains info about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address along with e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they are a dependable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. After that, you can use a URL that starts with https:// for your website instead of http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.
