One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for matching a client device with an appropriate network service provider data package. A device ID for the client device can be decomposed to one or more device ID ranges in a device decomposition set. One or more ranges of client ID can be assigned to a network service provider data package, which can be decomposed into a set of package decomposition ranges in a package decompositions set. The device decomposition set can be compared to the package decomposition set, and if an intersection is identified between the sets, the network service provider data package can be provided to the client device.

Architecture that stores specific passwords on behalf of users, and encrypts the passwords using encryption keys managed by a distributed key management system. The encryption keys are stored in a directory service (e.g., hierarchical) in an area that is inaccessible by selected entities (e.g., administrative users) having superior permissions such as supervisory administrators, but accessible to the account components that need to access the unencrypted passwords. The distributed key management system makes the encryption key stored in the directory service available to all hardware/software components that need the key to encrypt or decrypt the passwords.
