Hi, I'm looking into the Keychain Access app and seeing a few items there that I am unfamiliar with. Can someone clarify what these items are and if I should be concerned about any of them? I'm posting the name of these items and the items found within their Access Control in parentheses. Some of these may be harmless but I want to make sure.

Local items:
- SOSDataSource-ak (com.apple.security.sos)
I am seeing 4 of these keychains, all started at the same time and date
- RPIdentity-Self (com.apple.rapport)
- <unknown> (com.apple.LaunchServices.TrustedSignature)
- iCloud Keychain Account Meta-data (com.apple.rapport)
- com.apple.iAdIDRecords ( apple)
I am seeing 2 of these keychains, all started today at the same time
 
No, you shouldn't. They're used by Apple Services such as iCloud sync, your AppleID verification on iOS and MAS store and the rest. Notice that the bundle identifiers contain "com.apple". It means they're both made and supplied by Apple.
