In case you need to use an SSL Certificate for your website, so as to protect the payment and login information that users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity that will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It needs to be submitted to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided information and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site that has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from a web browser.
