The ESnet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) project for the DOE Science Grid commenced in October 2001 with a focus on immediate deployment and real-world user requirements. Key milestones included the activation of the DOESG Subordinate Root CA in November 2001 and the issuance of "Hand Minted" certificates by January 2002. The first authenticated transatlantic transactions took place in February 2002, marking significant progress in global grid security and community collaboration across international projects. The architecture's acceptance has paved the way for a unified approach among various research institutions.
