In case you offer products and services on your site and you would like the payment info that clients 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 receive an SSL, you will need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL supplier will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of your website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the entity that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority studies and approves the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate which is signed in an electronic format with 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 created after you generate your Request, the actual certificate as well as a specific Certificate Authority code, that is unique for every single vendor.
