In case you offer services and products on your website and you'd like the payment info that people submit to be secure, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encodes the info exchanged between a user and a server, but to get an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL vendor will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of your website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and email of the entity that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority studies and authorizes the CSR before it provides an SSL certificate which is signed in an electronic format using its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you need an overall of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made after you generate the Request, the actual certificate and a specific Certificate Authority code, which is unique for every single vendor.
