If you offer services and products on your website and you would like the payment data that customers send to be protected, you'll need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encodes the information exchanged between a user and a server, but in order to obtain an SSL, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL service provider will use to issue the certificate. The CSR includes the web address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the business that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and authorizes the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed digitally with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you'll need a total of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created after you generate your Request, the actual certificate plus a specific Certificate Authority code, which is unique for each vendor.
