Typically when the web address begins with HTTPS (which is supposed to denote a secure connection) but the website doesn’t have a valid SSL certificate you will see this error. It is meant to warn the user the site may not be implementing the secure socket layer or transport layer security protocol that their web address indicates. In other words the browser cannot authenticate the website’s security protocol.
