If you intend to use an SSL Certificate for your site, so as to protect the payment and login information which users submit, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info for the entity which will use the SSL in an encoded form, for example the exact web 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 based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
