You don't say which client/OS you are using or which http library the
Subversion client is using. Does it happens every time you contact the
server or does it happen once an update/checkout has started?

This is a low level error from the SSL/HTTP libraries used by
Subversion. It's a standard SSL error that indicates that consistency
checks on the SSL data in the SSL library have failed. The root cause
could be network hardware, a firewall, a proxy, an incompatibility
between the SSL implementation on the client and server, etc.
