I've had the very same problem. After much of research the solution worked for me was to remove all authentications keys (Software Sources -> Authentication, remove all one by one).
After that reinstalling missing keys with y-ppa-manager. Detailed instruction how to do it from here:

  1. To install it, first add the webupd8 repository for this program:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager

  2. Update your software list and install Y-PPA-Manager:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager

  3. Run y-ppa-manager (i.e. type y-ppa-manager then press enter key).

  4. When the main y-ppa-manager window appears, click on "Advanced."

  5. From the list of advanced tasks, select "Try to import all missing GPG keys" and click OK.

After that just close the y-ppa-manager and do update/upgrade, all should be without errors now.
