In case you offer services and goods on your website and you'd like the payment data that users send to be protected, you need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encodes the info exchanged between a user and a web server, but to acquire an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded info that the SSL service provider will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of your website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the organization which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and authorizes the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed electronically with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created once you generate your Request, the actual certificate along with a specific Certificate Authority code, that's unique for each vendor.
