Abstract: “In recent times, Routing in Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has provided a challenging and interesting research area due to its impact on numerous science and engineering applications. The principle challenges in MASNETs are frequent changes in network topology, its reliance on battery power and inadequacy of base stations. This research provides a secure multipath algorithm which promotes the nodes in MASNet to execute on-demand discovery by forming set of paths. An Adaptive Secure Multipath Routing (ASMR) is formed with an adaptive behaviour on route discovery and route maintenance phase. In the first phase of route discovery process, in order to obtain efficiency, security and reliability in multi-path routing for MASNETs, propose a routing mechanism, which allows nodes in MASNet to perform an on-demand discovery and generation of a set of paths, based on Dynamic MPR (DMPR) protocol. In route maintenance phase, two algorithms namely QUAD and RZLSR were proposed in a new way using”
