Method to compute a hash to be used as a unique identifier for a given file. This identifier should change upon file content modifications.

  • Computing the hash for the file content might be slow
  • Use file metadata (file name, date modified, owner, date creation)
  • Later, investigate more efficient ways (picking random blocks of data for example?)
