Abstract: Modern technology's blessing, the internet of things (IoT), has made remote monitoring and automation a reality. IoT devices are now the most economical option for wireless sensor networks. These gadgets were created with a specific purpose; therefore, computing power and power sources are restricted to meet that need. Due to power limitations, providing security for this type of network is a real issue. The game of life-based security key mechanism (GLSKM) technique is designed to leverage more low-level hardware bitwise operations during the key generation and exchanging phase instead of more computationally integrated energy-starving activities. This work presents two modules: the game of life-based key exchange mechanism and the random seed and iteration limit selector. Both modules are built to use simpler bitwise hardware-targeted instructions to achieve minimal power consumption without sacrificing security. The GLSKM approach also recognises the network's overall performance.
