A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you wish to get an SSL certificate which will encrypt all of the payment and account info that will be exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains info about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a licensed SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they are a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - both the keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
