Some Properties and Algorithms for Twin Primes
In this article, we study some new properties of twin primes and algorithms for their generation. We find the necessary conditions to generate a pair of twins. These conditions seem to indicate that the conjecture is true, namely, there are infinitely many twin primes. Furthermore, we developed some algorithms that are very useful from a computer science point of view, which can be applied in cryptography and data encryption.
