Zscaler had two patents in internet of things during Q1 2024. Zscaler Inc’s patent filed in Q1 2024 focuses on systems and methods for in-transit protocol translation, allowing for the translation of protocols for intermediate networks without the need for support for encapsulation/decapsulation at end hosts or changes to end hosts or transit networks. The approach involves intercepting traffic, detecting the communication protocol, translating it to a different protocol, and forwarding it to the transit network.

Application: Systems and methods for in-transit protocol translation (Patent ID: US20240031455A1)
The patent filed by Zscaler Inc. describes systems and methods for in-transit protocol translation that do not require support for encapsulation/decapsulation at end hosts or changes to end hosts or transit networks. The embodiments involve intercepting traffic between source client devices and a transit network, detecting the communication protocol used, translating the traffic to a different protocol, and forwarding it to the transit network. The method can be continuously performed and is particularly useful for fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, IoT devices, OT platforms, medical equipment, connected vehicles, and data stores.
The patent claims detail a method for intercepting and translating traffic between source client devices and a transit network, with the option to reverse the translation for destination client devices. The communication protocols involved can include SCTP and UDP, with the translation performed by a branch connector. The method can be executed continuously and automatically selects the second communication protocol based on the transit network. Additionally, the patent includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for performing the method and a branch connector with processors and memory for intercepting, detecting, translating, and forwarding traffic between source client devices and a transit network, particularly suited for 5G networks and various types of client devices.
