A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and account info which will be exchanged between your website and its customers. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, an accredited SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Next, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
