All of us know that cryptography is an innovative security strategy. Network security construction with authentication techniques of its layers through blockchain technologies is an important field to discuss. The problem that we are trying to solve is the Transaction Privacy Leakage in public Blockchain networks with IOT networks, which has resulted in the publicity of this data on the network as well as synchronizing the information that allowed it to be accessed and propagated between distributed nodes. At the same time, there are some privacy risk concerns associated with public data wherein transactions contain sensitive information about their issuers. Although some previous research introduced models to deal with the problem of Transaction Privacy Leakage like deterministic key generation, mixing services, ring signature, zero-knowledge proof, and quantum-resistant algorithms, the suggested models do not fully achieve prevention or integrity in all cases. This paper presents a developed Multi-Layer Blockchain Security Model (MLBSM) that can be used to protect IoT networks while also facilitating their implementation for protecting IoT networks and similar networks to prevent Transaction Privacy Leakage for all users in the public blockchain network. The clustering concept is utilized to facilitate the multi-layer architecture. By implementing this, we may achieve unprecedented levels of security and transparency in the blockchain network which will protect the privacy of all users in different technologies.
