Crossfire supports encryption. Mainline ELRS can't add encryption support because the whole idea of ELRS was to reduce LoRa packet size to the bare minimum needed for 4 full res channels + a bit extra for arming and time multiplexed aux channels. There's some discussion on protocol security and scope here [0]. I'm sure these days there are multiple LoRa based links (independent and ELRS forks) that support authenticated encryption.
