ABSTRACT
The advantage of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is to form a wireless network in the absence of fixed infrastructure.
Early stages of routing protocols of MANETs were, incapable of handling security issues but by the introduction of newer
techniques like cryptographic techniques enabled them to handle the routing information securely. The present paper details
the newly proposed SAODV and TAODV and further compares the same with the existing MANET routing protocols
