Did you already import the key of the "backports" repo?

If you want apt to verify the downloaded backports you can import 
backports.org archive’s key into apt:

apt-get install debian-backports-keyring

or

gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 16BA136C
gpg --export 16BA136C | apt-key add -

or

wget -O - http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | apt-key add -
