In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login information that users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided data and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key which is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.
