If you offer products and services on your site and you would like the payment info that customers upload to be protected, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the info exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to get an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL service provider will use to issue the certificate. The CSR features the web address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the entity which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority evaluates and approves the CSR before it gives an SSL certificate that is signed digitally using its private key as an authority. In order to set up an SSL, you'll need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created when you generate your Request, the actual certificate along with a specific Certificate Authority code, that's unique for every single vendor.
