In this paper, we have presented a comprehensive study optimizing the performance of the N-th degree truncated polynomial ring units (NTRU) post-quantum cryptography (PQC) on advanced RISC machines (ARM)- based internet of things (IoT) devices, with specific focus on Raspberry Pi boards, for integration within edge layer and fog-based IoT architecture. Our objective was to expedite encryption and decryption processing times for five security levels. To achieve this, we adopted Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) to facilitate secure NTRU public key exchanges and utilized run-length encoding (RLE) to compress ciphertext effectively. Our results confirmed a compression ratio of approximately 69.25%, suggesting a strong potential for efficient data transfer. The empirical outcomes of our research evidenced considerable improvements in NTRU performance on ARM-based devices, with encryption and decryption times improvement by 80% and 33%, respectively, for 128-bit payloads.
