Both attributes are used to implement Subresource Integrity.

Subresource Integrity is a mechanism by which user agents may verify that a fetched resource has been delivered without unexpected or unauthorized modification.

The integrity attribute allows the browser to check the source file contents against the supplied hash value to ensure that the code is never loaded if the source has been modified.

The crossorigin attribute indicates if and how the CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) credential-passing mechanism will be used.
