At my office, they have just changed the way we connect to Sharepoint, so they are not allowing SSL v3 anymore, you must use TLS. 

This means I cannot edit files (Excel, Word, Powerpoint) directly on Sharepoint using the document connection application or by using Safari (with sharepoint browser plugin).

Im getting a certificate error.

Does Office 2011 not support TLS with the document connection or the sharepoint plugin in Safari?

Theres more info about the SSL 3 poodle vulnerability here:

Hi,

The current forum mainly supports Office for Windows, since this problem is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

I had the same issue. It was resolved by enabling the TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA cipher on the SharePoint web front ends. I detailed my findings on the forum thread linked below.
