What is GPG error?

Question

When my update is complete I am getting an GPG error but I don't know what is GPG.Can someone explain me what is this error and why it has occurred? I know how to fix it but I want to know what is this error ?

the error is:

W: GPG error: https://download.01.org trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A902DDA375E52366

Could just be a warning that someone's key isn't fully "trusted", if it's not signed by you or someone else you "trust", but would have to see the erorr to know for sure — Xen2050, Dec 12 '14 at 06:19

This typically happens when you have added a non-ubuntu repository to your apt sources, but you have not imported the public key that matches the signing key that was used to sign the packages in that repository.

You can run the following command in order to import the missing key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A902DDA375E52366

are you behind a proxy? – Praveen Dec 12 '14 at 14:21
yes I am ,is this because of proxy? – gsdf Dec 12 '14 at 14:24
Looks like something is blocking your access to keyserver.ubuntu.com, so firewall or proxy are likely to blame. – BostonHiker Dec 12 '14 at 16:58
