In case you offer services and products on your website and you'd like the payment details that clients upload to be secure, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encrypts the info exchanged between a user and a server, but to obtain an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL vendor will use to create 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 reviews and authorizes the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed electronically using its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you'll need a total of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created when you generate your Request, the actual certificate and a special Certificate Authority code, that's unique for each vendor.
