A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to get an SSL certificate that will encode the payment and account details which are exchanged between your website and its customers. The CSR contains info about the website plus 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 licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to show that they are a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Next, you will be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the website visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.
