Advances in wireless communication have geared up extensive insights wherein the sensors can themselves communicate with other sensors that form significant parts of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the large-scale acceptance of WSN for IoT is still surfacing threats and controversies that apprehend the security aspects. There are a lot of attacks that can manipulate the routein WSN for IoT. In this work, an Optimized Load Centroid and Rabin Onion Routing (OLC-ROR) method are designed to improve the throughput rate with minimum routing overhead and latency. The proposed method is based on a Centroid and Rabin Signature, a Digital Signature technique. First, the optimal route is identified by considering both the load and residual energy using Load Centroid function. Then onion routing is used for selecting secured route amongst the optimality. Besides, the node genuineness is checked by applying the Rabin Signature
