A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you wish to have an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and login information which will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they are a trusted issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate along with the CSR. After that, you will be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the site visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
