Rich Snippet errors "This is not verified publisher markup", and "Missing required field 'updates'/'author'"

When I test my website on Google SDTT it will show:

This is not a verified publisher markup.
Error: Missing required field "updated".
Error: Missing required hCard "author".

How can I solve it? And is this affecting my SEO rating?

You will need to integrate your personal Plus profile with website and vice versa.

Follow this:

• Create a link to your Google+ profile from your webpage, like this:

  <a href="[profile_url]?rel=author">Google</a>
  

• Replace [profile_url] with the your Google+ profile URL, like this:

  <a href="https://plus.google.com/109412257237874861202? rel=author">Google</a>
  

• Your link must contain the ?rel=author parameter. If it's missing, Google won't be able to associate your content with your Google+ profile.

• Add a reciprocal link back from your profile to the site(s) you just updated.

• Edit the Contributor To section.

• In the dialog that appears, click Add custom link, and then enter the website URL.

• If you want, click the drop-down list to specify who can see the link.

• Click Save.
