A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to obtain an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account info which are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they're a dependable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created 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 begins with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
