In case you would like to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login data that users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info related to the entity that will use the SSL in an encrypted form, such as the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It needs to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted info and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
