Blockchain technology has been related to the Internet of Things for a long time. Many obstacles stand in the way of widespread adoption of IoT applications. Security dangers and data privacy remain the top concerns, according to many studies and research. These issues are well-known, and solutions are available in the IT sector. Standard IT Security solutions, on the other hand, cannot be applied to IoT for a variety of reasons, ranging from device kinds to sheer device quantities. Unfortunately, security is typically overlooked in the IoT area, as it is in any other business, and most resources are given to application development and device hardware.This research technique featured decentralised blockchain-based authentication as well as an enhanced traffic management architecture. The benefits of blockchain security may be used to create secure virtual zones where objects can identify and trust one another, thanks to our technique. We may use our method in a wide range of IoT applications without requiring any specific hardware. Compared to centralised networks, our decentralised networks are much more well-organized. In terms of how it connects with other systems, each node in the network acts as an autonomous decision maker. Additionally, a secured layered architecture is proposed where the distributed directory is a convention of reproduced, shared and synced digital data dispersed throughout the whole blockchain network so that all network members would have a version of the directory themselves. It also ensures secure data storage for the device setup, which includes data from physical sensors.
