A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you want to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all the payment and login information that will be exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to identify that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
