hi, I'm distributing custom applications for redhat. I want to set up my update server to have the client applications auto-updated. I need the update process to be secured.

Can the connection to the update server secured and certified ? Is there an encrypted update method ? With server certificate check ? Thanks.

A: 

HTTPS is a decently secure method. But your packages should be signed regardless.

How does the packet manager knows the packet dependencies before downloading them ? There is no database query ?
Same way it always does. It reads the repository's metadata.
