Checking YXDB Integrity

Hi,  I had a question regarding yxdb file integrity I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on.. Suppose that a given Alteryx process generates a .yxdb file, and it is expected to change hands before being picked up by another Alteryx process.  Is there anything that can be done to ensure that the file will not be manipulated between point A and point B, or at least to ensure that such a change is detectable?  I realize that the file isn't in some simple text format which would allow for easy manipulation, but am thinking also about a bad actor between point A and point B opening and resaving the file in their own copy of Alteryx.  Would appreciate any insight.

If you re-input your file using a directory tool it should tell you the LastWriteTime which should capture any changes I would think!
