A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you wish to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all the payment and login information which will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - both the keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
