Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is characterized by mobile hosts, dynamic topology, multi-hop wireless connectivity and infrastructureless ad hoc environment. The adhoc environment is accessible to both legitimate network users and malicious attackers. Moreover, as the wireless links are highly error prone and can go down frequently due to mobility of nodes, therefore, energy efficient, secure and stable routing over MANET is still a very critical task due to highly dynamic environment. In this research paper, an effort has been done to combine these factors of security, power and stable routing by proposing a new protocol EESSRP (Energy Efficient, Secure and Stable Routing Protocol). An experimental analysis of proposed protocol has been carried out using network simulator NS-2.34. An effort has been made to perform analysis using random way point mobility model. The results have been derived using self created network scenarios for varying number of mobile nodes. The performance metrics used for evaluation are packet delivery ratio, average end to end delay, throughput, normalized routing load and packet loss. It has been concluded that the proposed protocol i.e. EESSRP provides energy efficient, secure and stable routing strategy for mobile adhoc networks.
