Error:Cause: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Question

I got the following Error in android Studio 2.2.3 when I sync gradle.

Error:Cause: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

How can I fix this issue

I am Adding my Gradle file also

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.sample.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
} } dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:23.4.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
// FireBase
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
}//Add this line
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

and the project Level Gradle File

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter{ url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {

This problem might be due to some restricted internet connections... If you are installing build tools on some restricted network, the required certificates might not install... So try changing the network connection.... Worked for me.....
