MANET is a set of ad-hoc wireless devices with limited broadcast orbit and resources. Communication is accomplished by relaying data along suitable routes that are dynamically determined and preserved through collaboration between the nodes. Find of such routes is a principal task, both from efficiency and security point of aspects. This paper presents an efficient and secure routing, based on asymmetric authentication using Approach of Reciprocity Key (AKR). The proposed mechanism ensures secure routing by also taking the Quality of Service (QoS) in MANETs and minimizes the network overhead. The AKR performance can be efficaciously used to create a new routing protocol for Mobile Adhoc Networks which will provide maximum security against all kinds of attacks. In this paper, AKR is compared with other secure routing protocols like TWOACK, and AODV, to evaluate the efficiency of AKR in Ad Hoc Networks. The empirical results show that there is an increase of 22% packet delivery ratio and a decrease of 9% routing overhead.
