Well hashing is (usually) a symmetric function and we are open source... Meaning you could recover the key in the code (or intercept it during transfer). I think Private/Public key is a simpler approach, reusable elsewhere in the code and it's known to be safe. But I'm not the CTO either, I could be mistaken.
