These files are useful only to detect error in the associated file, and they will not guard against alteration of that file, because it is easy to generate the associated SHA file. However, once the SHA files are published, then the associated files cannot be changed without the possibility of detection. It would be useful for voting systems to create and post these files early-on, even before the images are available, so the files cannot later be modified.
