Feature Request: Provide SHA256 checksums

Is your feature request related to a problem?

There are no secure checksums provided for the Corretto packages.

Describe a solution you would like

SHA256 checksums seem to be a standard among software providers.

Describe alternatives you have considered

While MD5 sums work for now, I'd trust the contents more if they had a more secure checksum.

Thanks for contacting us about this.

Providing additional or alternative checksums is something that has been discussed, and they will likely be available for a future release.

If a specific checksum would be helpful for you, please let us know and we'll take that into consideration

SHA256 would be my preference. Thank you!

Sha256 hashes are available for the latest releases on the Github release pages and on the Corretto.aws pages ie: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html

We do not plan to backfill the hashes, but they will always exist going forward.
