I suggest having a look at TUF, and especially their security
documentation: https://www.updateframework.com/wiki/Docs/Security.

Its implementation did not look mature enough when we started to
implement Tails incremental updates, but it was a year ago, so perhaps
things have changed significantly since then :)

(I can't remember nor find if I suggested it already, so I beg your
pardon if I'm repeating myself.)

Cheers,
