Boundary

  1. Compare the computed hash with the reference value.
  2. Verify provenance using a separate piece of evidence.
  3. Do not treat unknown as matched or safe.
  4. Keep this separate from upload or external sending.

A matching hash does not prove that the reference source or distributor is trustworthy.
