  ABSTRACT: In Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), the group communication for multiple senders and receivers threatens the security features. The multicasting is provoked to various security attacks, eavesdropping etc., hence secure multicasting requires imperative significance. The secure multicast tree construction using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BPO) algorithm is proposed to develop a secure multicast tree construction in MANET. During routing, the proposed algorithm utilizes the public routing proxy to hide identity of the sender and receiver from other nodes for maintaining confidentiality. The public routing proxy is estimated using bacterial foraging optimization algorithm and path reliability is evaluated after the each iteration. Path reliability enhances the security of the network from black hole attacker and DoS attackers compared to traditional approaches for secure multicast tree formation in MANETs. By simulation results, we have shown that the proposed technique offers authentication and confidentiality during secure multicasting which is compared to conventional multicast tree formation algorithms in MANETs.
