  Enhanced Diversity and Network Coding (eDC-NC), the synergistic combination
of Diversity and modified Triangular Network Coding, was introduced recently to
provide efficient and ultra-reliable networking with near-instantaneous fault
recovery. In this paper it is shown that eDC-NC technology can efficiently and
securely broadcast messages in 5G wireless fog-computing-based Radio Access
Networks (F-RAN). In particular, this work is directed towards demonstrating
the ability of eDC-NC technology to more efficiently provide secure messages
broadcasting than standardized methods such as Secure Multicasting using Secret
(Shared) Key Cryptography, such that the adversary has no ability to acquire
information even if they wiretap the entire F-RAN network (except of course the
source and destination nodes). Our results show that using secure eDC-NC
technology in F-RAN fronthaul network will enhance secure broadcasting and
provide ultra-reliability networking, near-instantaneous fault recovery, and
retain the throughput benefits of Network Coding.
