It's just digitally signing the metadata, so that you know a picture was taken with an actual camera.

Which is super useful because I regularly verify the sources of the hashes in my metadata and most artists will make a habit of that too!

If it's just a hash, you'll trick people 99% of the time with a random hash, who's gonna check?
