A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you wish to obtain an SSL certificate which will encrypt all the payment and account information which are exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains info about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's 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 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'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
