Paul dropped me an email to make me aware of a post he had made on his blog titled "Forensic checksumming on all versions of supported Oracle databases". This is quite a useful post as it summarises the the available options to create hashes from within the database and gives some sample code using SHA-1 that Paul suggests should be used in more secure settings whilst DBMS_UTILITY.GET_HASH can be used for day to day patch checking.
