If you offer services and products on your website and you'd like the payment data that clients send to be protected, you'll need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encrypts the information exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to obtain an SSL, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL supplier will use to create the certificate. The CSR consists of the website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the organization which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and authorizes the CSR before it gives an SSL certificate which is signed digitally with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you need an overall 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 specific Certificate Authority code, which is unique for each and every vendor.
