If you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login data that users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information for the entity that will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted details and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that's generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website 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 through a web browser.
