I got the same error after upgrading to macOS Sierra while using php script to send push notifications.

Solution with installing certificate to

[default_cert_file] => /usr/local/libressl/etc/ssl/cert.pem didn't help as well.

Updated to PHP v. 5.6.27, macOS Sierra 10.12.4

And after all, I found my problem. It was in the fact, that macOS Sierra updated PHP version to 5.6.27

To check it, type in Terminal

php -v

PHP 5.6.27 (cli) (built: Oct 23 2016 11:47:58) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

And here is OpenSSL changes in PHP 5.6.x

As the brief workaround, someone suggested disabling brand-new security features in the php script (in the link above, very bottom part).

Safer (and I recommend it) would be a way to setup path to entrust_2048_ca.cer explicitly like

 $streamContext = stream_context_create([
            'ssl' => [
                'verify_peer'      => true,
                'verify_peer_name' => true,
                'cafile'           => '/path/to/bundle/entrust_2048_ca.cer',
            ]
        ]);

It works as well .
