Description
Just to be on the safe side we could make FileCacher compute and verify the checksum of files it receives/sends. And we could also add a method to verify the checksum of a file.
(Taken from our old TODO.txt. I don't know the internals of FileCacher so I don't really know what this means)

Research direction
Locate the FileCacher implementation and the code paths that receive and send files. Read how files are currently transferred and cached, then determine the checksum behavior needed for transfers and for the requested verification method. Done means received and sent files are checked and a file checksum can be verified reliably.
