In case you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your website, to protect the payment and login information which users upload, you'll 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, for instance the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted data and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
