Digital signing images could work, but this stuff takes care to do 
correctly and a mistake would defeat all the effort. If someone wants to 
design a 'satellite login' system where we verify our Callsigns "Logbook 
of the World" style, and then have private keys to verify our identity, 
well, that's another project, and best if shared among all future 
satellites that want to use it.

I suggest an open command to delete any image.  The images would fall 
off the queue anyway eventually, so not much is lost if someone gets 
delete happy.
