A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you would like to have an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and login info which will be exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they're a trusted issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Then, you will be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the website visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.
