A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you want to acquire an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and login details which will be exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they're a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Next, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your website instead of http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.
