To maintain the information that is required to properly route the traffic is a key issue in MANET. Among the available routing techniques trust based routing techniques seem to be better. In trust based routing technique, security threats that occur during routing as well as network initialization is a left out problem. In this proposed scheme Protected Reliable Routing (PRR) ensures security in all expected parameters. Node formation is done by two way secured encrypted techniques which double checks for false node by ECDSA in case of multicast communication and HMAC embedded with MD5 in case of unicast communication and then allocates IP for new node. In routing to avoid delay, Bees algorithm is being used to choose the optimized path from source to sink based on the higher objective value and then source node gathers recommendation from neighbour node, analyse them by calculating confidence value and response value. The result thus obtained is again handpicked based on high communication rate to have a better knowledge about destination. Efficiency of PRR is shown by comparing it with existing techniques in terms of overhead, packet delivery ratio, packet loss and throughput.
