In case you intend to use an SSL Certificate on your website, so as to protect the payment and login information that users post, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information for the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, such as the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It should be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided details and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique 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 accessed with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format via an Internet browser.
