Answer #1

CRC or checksum doesn't provide security by itself, because CRC is can be easily reversible(since it is cryptographically weak algorithm), so data can be accessed/modified by attacker,
it only works effectively for common communication channel errors, so, to stop attacker, we need to apply strong encryption algorithm on CRC
