Cage based deformation techniques aims to be an easy to use tool for graphics modeling, texturing and animation. In this tutorial we describe the most important methods, their basics, and the desirable properties that they should satisfy. We also present a comparative to show the strong and weak points of each one, taking into account their distinctive utilities. Finally, we discuss some applications that exploit cage capabilities in order to create a more complex deformation system or to simplify other deformation techniques. More Information..

In the current Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) proposals it is possible to generate a secret key and distribute it with the involved parties separated in physical terms. This possibility opens the possibility of structuring a a solution to the the classical cryptography problem of key distribution with reduced interaction among involved parties. Among other proposals to adress this issue is the Eckert 91 protocol wich will be in scope in this report. Proposed in 1991 by A. Eckert it is an entanglement based protocol. The security assurance of entanglement based protocols is based on impossibility of an eavesdropper has to clone a message without destroying it. As such the receiver has the possibility to detect eavesdropping and this is a major advantage of this type of protocols. In the end the a security proof will be described.
