Can a hacker use the Crash Program/OS action to crash an Encryption program running on a device?

Yes, but that won't defeat the encryption on existing data, but it will stop them from encrypting new data.

I concur.

Fair enough. What about spoofing a feed? If a hacker hacks into a Drone communicating with its master via Encrypted commo and the hacker wants the controller to receive a false feed (not an edited one) then would decrypting the feed prevent insertion (and matching encryption) of the false feed?

Since to insert the command attacker first had to Decrypt the communication, reconnecting using Encrypt again would defeat the attacker. Or i guess more aptly delay them.

True, but my question is more about what happens when an undetected hacker is inserting purely false data into an encrypted feed. Does it travel unencrypted and thus automatically detected as false?
