This problem might occur if you are behind corporate proxy and corporation uses its own certificate. Just add "--no-check-certificate" in the command. e.g. wget --no-check-certificate -qO - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -

It works. If you want to see what is going on, you can use verbose command instead of quiet before adding "--no-check-certificate" option. e.g. wget -vO - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add - This will tell you to use "--no-check-certificate" if you are behind proxy.
