A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when you wish to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and login info that are exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
