If you offer services and goods on your site and you would like the payment details that customers send to be protected, you need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encodes the information exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to receive an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL service provider will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of your website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the organization that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority studies and authorizes the CSR before it provides an SSL certificate which is signed digitally with its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made once you generate your Request, the actual certificate and a specific Certificate Authority code, that is unique for every single vendor.
