Yes, that can happen if you are trying to use an old installer file. Every now and then Apple reissues them with a new certificate and if you have an installer you downloaded 2 years ago then you may encounter that error. If this is a brand new download then it is possible you have a corrupt download which is being misread as an old certificate. You then need to get to a really good wifi connection or better yet, a wired Ethernet connection, and redownload the installer. Well, I guess in either case you need to do that. :-)
