What really constitutes a shutdown corner?

Is it merely interceptions, or is it having such a reputation that the opposition won't throw in your direction?
Could it be having the assignment of defending the other team's No. 1 receiver on every snap, no matter where he lines up on the field? Or is it a combination of everything?

Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor would like to know the definition, because if anybody in the NFL should be called a shutdown corner, he fits that description..............
