A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you wish to obtain an SSL certificate which will encrypt all of the payment and login details that are exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, a certified SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to identify that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Then, you will be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
