Security is considered to be an important issue in any wireless network. Many protocols are being designed for providing security in mobile adhoc network to protect the data or network from various threads and attacks. Another important factor for adhoc network is path optimization with less delay and energy consumption. In this paper, along with security path is optimized based on minimum delay and link quality of adhoc network. For optimizing path, Adaptive Node Stability (ANS) mechanism is used which makes the routing strategy in the network. Estimation of path is based on the delay, link quality and energy of the neighboring nodes that are closer to each other. Thus, ANS helps to select the efficient path from source to destination. Security is being provided by Secure Elliptic Curve Routing Algorithm (SECRA) which consumes less energy and provides greater security over the network. NS2 simulator shows the comparison of proposed and existing protocol such as AODV and DECRP present in the network.
