In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login information that users upload, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information for 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 email address. It needs to be submitted to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted data and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key which is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
