Thanks for the clarification.

> Take for example the com.apple.systemdefault certificate in System.keychain. That's created as a self-signed root certificate as part of system installation. Its purpose is to the authoritative certificate for the concept of "this computer". The system uses it to sign/encrypt information that has no use or validity on any other computer in the world.

But why is a "self-signed" key "not trusted?" (If it's of any significance, this is on a 10 day old clean installation.)

Thanks
