I have not seen a definitive solution for your problem. So, I suggest you use my search link in trying to solve it: App Store authentication failed (most results on the second page). You will see a number of links that are, or may be, related to your specific problem. Several links related to my search claim fixes.

Some other things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.
