First and Foremost, cryptocurrency is based on Blockchain.  Decentralised and
Stuff like Ethereum,Bitcoin etc possesses huge potential in the future. 
Successful currencies have six key attributes— divisibility, utility, transportability, durability.
The cryptocurrency bitcoin has value because it holds up very well when it comes to these six characteristics, although its biggest issue is its status as a store of value.
Bitcoin's utility and transferability are challenged by difficulties surrounding the cryptocurrency storage and exchange spaces.

Effectively, the base of all these lie in the cryotherapy. The Sympy library contains 
Shift cipher,Affine cipher,substitution ciphers,Vigenere’s cipher,Hill’s cipher,Bifid ciphers,RSA,Kid RSA,linear-feedback shift registers (for stream ciphers),ElGamal encryption. Effectively many algorithms aren't present in it.

One way hash, secret splitting & secret sharing, block cipher, elyptic curve could be developed, pohlig Hellman, feigo-fiat , RSA,Rabin,Brassard's theorem,Designing a cipher system,Baby step giant ,Pollard's rho,Pollard's p-1,Random sieve,Solovay strassen,Jacobi sum ,Berleykemp algorithm could be implemented. Shall I go forward with the same?

It's currently an open question as to what the scope of the crypto
module should be, or if it should even be included in SymPy at all.
See https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/18269. I would not recommend
making a GSoC proposal about cryptography for SymPy given the status
of the module.
