Given two distinct vertices (nodes) source s and target  t of a graph G = ( V , E ), the two node-disjoint paths  problem is to identify two node-disjoint paths between  s ∈ V and t ∈ V . Two paths are node-disjoint if they have no common intermediate vertices. In this paper, we present an algorithm with O ( m )-time complexity for finding two node-disjoint paths between s and t in arbitrary graphs where m is the number of edges. The proposed algorithm has a wide range of applications in ensuring reliability and security of sensor, mobile and fixed communication networks.
