A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when you want to acquire an SSL certificate which will encode all the payment and account details which are exchanged between your site and its users. The CSR contains info about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key 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 four codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
