Please try the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 437D05B5

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then type:

sudo apt-get update

This should update the signing key and allow the system to run those updates.
