Optimal path selection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one of the challenging tasks. Several efficient routing protocols are proposed for specific scenarios to achieve particular objectives in WSN. However, such networks have many limitations such as low data rates and security threats. In this paper, we propose an adaptive secure routing protocol which is based on bioinspired mechanism. It uses distributed ant-based methodology to select two optimal paths keeping in view route security. Simulation results show that our routing protocol can perform better in many scenarios.
