The CMTS and cable modem exchange authorization certificates, primarily to prevent spoofed modems from being used to steal service

in this instance the auth didn't match what the CMTS was expecting so it rejected the modem.

it was probably just munged due to noise or some other transient problem since your modem later successfully reconnected
