The rapid development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has made them becoming increasingly popular as a possible significant application. Every single time, this acknowledgment takes place. Internet of Things (IoT) networks place importance on security as data travels over an inflow of vulnerable devices. Information integrity preservation, consumption of energy optimization, and data security protection are therefore the most critical requirements for Internet of Things networks. A Group Key (GK) is a shared symmetric key that all members of a group use to encrypt their communications and keep them secret. Whenever a group member enters or leaves, the GK must be redistributed to ensure forward and backward confidentiality. Key management processes, such as generation and distribution, add load to the system when limited network resources are used. The present research uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to help with the development of a lightweight and secure Group Communication (GC) method. Protecting the data's integrity is the ultimate responsibility of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) integration. Protecting the network's GCs from attacks, reducing bandwidth consumption, and minimizing network overhead due to key redistribution and management procedures are all objectives of the AES-PKI algorithm. Additionally, by using both backward and forward secrecy during key distribution, the current AES-PKI technique provides data confidentiality. There is proof that this approach works well against network mobility in scalable IoT networks. Using dynamic simulation data that incorporates the ratio of received packets to overall energy usage, AES-PKI's performance is validated.
