It's an OpenSSL issue. You can download root certificates with

wget https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

then edit openssl.cafile parameter in your php.ini configuration file:

openssl.cafile=/path/to/cacert.pem

If you aren't able to do it you can use composer's disable-tls option.

composer config -g -- disable-tls true

Enabling this is a security risk and is NOT recommended.
