The docs state:

Edge Hash is currently in preview. If you would like to learn more about edge hashing and how to be part of the preview please email m2support@microsoft.com.

Also, the doc doesn't really explain how to compute the hash, just how to send it.

@CCicalese_WMF would you mind maybe contacting them and asking what would they recommend wikipedia does?

@CCicalese_WMF
In order to test the app, I need PhotoDNA's subscription key

I will get it to you as soon as Microsoft gets it to me.

PhotoDNA is one of the scariest and most evil surveillance technologies in the wild! I assume this is not meant for Wikimedia wikis, right?

@Nemo_bis: Feel free to edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoDNA accordingly (or its talk page), where such personal opinions might be better suited/discussed?

I've already edited that article but I'm sure you know that on Wikipedia we stick to NPOV. Outside articles, CPOV applies. :) If you need more information on why PhotoDNA is terrible, I'm glad to provide some, but it's very easy to find out. Even WMF staff includes some policy advisors who know very well.
