Untrusted Certificates?

When I open up my keychain, I saw 13 untrusted certificates, 6 of them is com.apple.ubiquity.ssl-cert, and the other 7 is com.apple.ubiquity.peer-uuid. I also have one unknown certificates. What are these certificates for? Where does it come from? If I delete them, will it cause any problems with my computer?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

The certificates are talked about in other threads. Here is one related post:

It's part if the iCloud Doucment syncing system. Apple internally calls it "Ubiquity" which is the ubd process.


The keychain items you are seeing are the peer-to-peer keys that are setup so that devices on the same network (Macs, iOS devices) can send their iCloud documents directly to each other instead of routing up to the 'Cloud' and then back down to a device that is sitting on the same physical network. Save bandwitch, faster, etc..
