A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and account information that will be exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains information about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, an accredited SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to identify that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the info that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
