A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you want to acquire an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and login information that will be exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, an authorized SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Next, you will be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the information that you've provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
