As other people are discussing how to avoid the problems, let me have a 
go at answering your questions directly.

Check that "debian-archive-keyring" is installed. If that is showing as 
untrusted as well, then read https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys.html.  
Note the warning at the top, though: "Please note that the details here 
are for information only, you should not rely on them and use other ways 
to verify them."

If you're running Debian, then that line should provide all the security 
updates you require. If you've added other repositories, though (PPAs, 
for example, or if you're using a debian-derived distribution such as 
Ubuntu, Mint, Devuan etc), then you should consult THOSE projects 
individually to see if they provide security updates (they may simply 
provide a rolling "bleeding edge" update model instead).
