A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you want to get an SSL certificate that will encode all the payment and account info that will be exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, an accredited SSL vendor issues the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. After that, you will be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
