This is the ESnet PKI project site. ESnet is building a Public Key Infrastructure service to support the DOE Science Grid, SciDAC projects and other DOE research efforts. The main goal is to provide DOE scientist and engineers Identity and Service certificates that allow them to participate in the growing national and international computational Grids.
To build this service and to insure the widest possible acceptance of its certificates, we will be participating in two international forums. First, the Global Grid Forum, which is working to establish international Grid standards/recommendations - specifically we are contributing to the Grid Certificate policy working group and the Grid Information Services Area. The Grid CP effort is focusing on development of a common Certificate Policy that all Grid PKI’s could use instead of custom individual CPs that hamper certificate validation. Second, we will be working with the European Data Grid CA operations group to insure that the EDG Test beds will accept our certificates. This website will be used to track the progress of this project. The website will contain all project documents and status reports.
