A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you want to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all the payment and login information which are exchanged between your site and its users. The CSR contains info about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they're a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Next, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
