A method of enabling communication protocol translation for encrypted data traffic between first and second devices. The method includes receiving data for the second device from the first device, creating a trusted execution environment ("TEE"), requesting attestation of the TEE from a trusted central device having access to a certificate authority ("CA") performing the attestation, receiving protocol translation instructions and cryptographic credentials required for securely communicating with the first and second devices, decrypting any encrypted data from the first device using the credentials, translating the decrypted data from a first protocol format utilized by the first device into a second protocol format utilized by the second device in the TEE based on the translation instructions, encrypting the translated data in the TEE using the received cryptographic credentials that allow the second device to decrypt the encrypted translated data, and sending the encrypted translated data to the second device.
