[Spacewalk-list] "Security: GPG" section of Channel? What's it for?

[Robert Paschedag]

The package manager (apt, zypper or yum or dnf) uses the signature to verify, that the metadata you're downloading (i.e. the Packages.gz on Debian) is not modified and is from a trusted source.

Only if the verification succeeds, the package manager will allow to install packages from that "source".

Hi!  Does anyone know what the "Security : GPG" section of the channel is
for?  I.e., what component uses that information and how?

Thanks!
