Security key generation procedure are described in spec 33.401. Keys are generated at MME, eNB and UE.
In handover scenarios vertical and horizontal key are derive. Procedure to derive and algorithm to derive are explained in above spec. Please ask question if having doubt in particular scenario.

LTE: How does a target enodeB get to know which of the cell need to prepare for a received handover request ?

When source enodeB triggers Handover Required message to MME. It just has Target ID ( which just tells about the target eNodeB Id ) not at the cell level granularity .

Is there any IE carry such information within Handover Required or handover request message ?
