Overview

Hashes the message using a secret salt, stores the hash in the message and then checks its the same when pulled off the other end.

Basic trust implementation to make sure the message hasn’t been tampered with in transit and came from an “authorised” app.

Make sure both the publisher and subscriber use the same key else you’ll get KeyValidationError error raised.
