If you offer products and services on your website and you would like the payment data that customers submit to be protected, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the information exchanged between a user and a server, but in order to obtain an SSL, you will need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL service provider will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of the website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the business which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews 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 install an SSL, you need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created once you generate your Request, the actual certificate and a special Certificate Authority code, that's unique for each and every vendor.
