A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encrypt the payment and login details which are exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with email, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, an authorized SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they are a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all four codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
