If you offer services and products on your website and you would like the payment information that customers upload to be protected, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encodes the information exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to obtain an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded info that the SSL vendor will use to issue the certificate. The CSR includes your website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the business 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 using its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you need a total of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made after you generate your Request, the actual certificate as well as a special Certificate Authority code, that is unique for each and every vendor.
