So I looked into this a bit more, and schang is correct. 
Trove is limited by the implementation that swift supports which is currently only MD5.
If we want to support file verification based on SHA256 or something else, we will need to have this added to swift.

  The file: trove/trove/guestagent/strategies/storage/swift.py line 54
  uses a weak hashing algorithm, MD5. It would be pretty simple
  hardening upgrade to use at least hashlib.SHA256.
