Abstract	The delivery of reliable data in MANETs depends on efficient and secure routing. Major challenges are energy consumption management and counteracting security threats. This research introduces a hybrid algorithm, WOA-DE, combining the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Differential Evolution (DE). WOA enhances exploration inspired by humpback whales' bubble-net hunting, while DE accelerates convergence through exploitation. The algorithm optimizes routing metrics such as energy efficiency and end-to-end delay. There is security against Byzantine and Wormhole attacks while ensuring data to be reliably delivered. The WOA-DE simulations proved its superiority to conventional algorithms in the metrics of QoS, energy consumption, and safe routing.
