If you offer services and products on your website and you would like the payment data that customers upload to be secure, you should use an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encodes the data exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to obtain an SSL, you will need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded info that the SSL supplier will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of the website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the business that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority studies and authorizes the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate which is signed in an electronic format with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you need an overall of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made once you generate your Request, the actual certificate and a specific Certificate Authority code, that's unique for each vendor.
