A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you wish to obtain an SSL certificate that will encrypt the payment and login info which will be exchanged between your website and its customers. The CSR contains information about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and email, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, an authorized SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they are a reliable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Next, you will be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your website instead of http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
