Advancement in wireless communications lead more and more mobile wireless networks e.g., mobile networks [mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)], wireless sensor networks, etc. Some of the challenges in MANET include: Dynamic network topology, Speed, Bandwidth, computation capability, Scalability, Quality of service, Secure and Reliable routing. One of the most important challenges in mobile wireless networks is the Secure and reliable routing and the main characteristic of MANET with respect to security is the lack of clear line of defence. Therefore, the SP routing problem in MANET turns into dynamic optimization problem. In this paper, a path detection algorithm and a model to detect intruders that is misbehaving nodes in the alternative paths is proposed.
