Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) comprises of nodes,
which are free to move randomly, yet cooperate to forward
packets between source and destination over a multi-hop
wireless network. Due to absence of any fi xed node, each
node acts as a router, providing routing capability for the
MANET. Various protocols for discovery of routes be-
tween any two MANET nodes have been designed. These
protocols are broadly categorized as on-demand proto-
cols and table driven protocols. Dynamic Source Routing
(DSR) and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV)
are the two most matured on-demand routing protocols,
while Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR)
and Topology Dissemination Based on Reverse-Path For-
warding (TBRPF) are the two most matured table driven
routing protocols. This paper proposes enhancements in
DSR to provide secured route discovery and improved
