Saving a hash of captured photos to the observation record would serve as proof that a photo was taken at a particular time, because the observation record is saved to hypercore which is immutable and signed, so it cannot be changed.
For historical reasons the filename / id for photos is a random string, not a hash. We could add another property to the attachments record which is a hash, e.g.
This would provide backwards compatibility with existing data - older photos would simply have no hashed. We could add a migration that adds hashes, but it wouldn't serve much purpose because it does not guarantee anything about the original photo.
