<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Hash artifacts for a CMMC Assessment to maintain integrity in the event any files are needed in the future
.DESCRIPTION
    This script will recursively evaluate all files in a local or UNC path.  Each file will be hashed and written to a text file.  Additionally,  the record is hashed to preserve the integrity of the output
.PARAMETER ArtifactRootDirectory
    Specifies the root path of the CMMC assessment artifacts.  This location can be represented by a traditional Windows file path, a  UNC path, or even .\
.PARAMETER ArtifactOutputDirectory
    Specifies the directory where the script will write two log files.  The first log is the listing of all files within the ArtifactRootDirectory  as well as the corresponding hash. The second log, is a hashed value of the first log.  This is a simple way to help preserve the  integrity of the artifact listing without requiring the maintenance of a public/private key pair or a password for an HMAC
