A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to have an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account details that are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, an authorized SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize 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 along with the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the website visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
