Claim 0:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to:
receive a match request from an access point of a local area network (LAN) as part of an extensible authentication protocol over LAN (EAPOL) process associated with a client device, the match request including an offered key provided by the client device, a station nonce (SNonce) value generated by the client device, and an access point nonce (ANonce) value generated by the access point;
determine a number of keys that are potentially valid for authentication with the LAN;
determine indexing information based on the number of keys, the indexing information to allocate the keys into a plurality of partitions based on a portion of the respective keys;
send the offered key, the indexing information for the respective partitions, the SNonce value, and the ANonce value to a plurality of computation elements to perform matching with the respective partitions of keys, wherein the client device is not included in the plurality of computation elements; and
receive, from a first computation element from the plurality of computation elements, an indication of a match.
