If you need to use an SSL Certificate for your website, so as to protect the payment and login data which users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity that will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact web address for the site, 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 details and depending 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 that is generated along 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 a web browser.
