A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when you wish to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all of the payment and login details that are exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the website plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they are a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. After that, you can use a URL starting with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.
