Abstract: This study describes the secure route path formation in the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol. For secure route path formation in Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (RSA) for encryption is used. The Secure Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (SAODV) is an extension in Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol that is used to protect the route path from integrity and authentication attacks. Ad hoc network maintains a routing table giving distance from itself to all possible destinations. In Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol the route discovery is done by route request and reply packets. After establishing a route the communication between source and destination takes place. Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol solves the loop formation. It works on wired as well as on wireless networks.
