In case you need to use an SSL Certificate for your website, to protect the payment and login info that users post, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for instance the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It needs to be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted data and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site that has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.
