A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you would like to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all the payment and login info which are exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains info about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as email, 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 recognize that they are a dependable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate and the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
