SSL Certificate Generator

In case you offer products and services on your site and you'd like the payment details that users send to be protected, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the info exchanged between a user and a server, but in order to receive an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL service provider will use to create the certificate. The CSR includes the web address, Business name and Unit, postal address and email of the business which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and authorizes the CSR before it supplies an SSL certificate which is signed digitally with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you will need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made once you generate your Request, the actual certificate plus a specific Certificate Authority code, which is unique for each and every vendor.
