Cuurently, the WEP cracking tools such as (Airsnort, WEPcrack) rely on packets with weak initialization vectors (IVs) in order to conduct analysis. Aruba controllers will not generate packets with weak IVs – thus all downstream packets will be unusable for cracking purposes
Some other cases, clients will still generate weak IVs – small percentage of client traffic will contain packets with weak IVs. A determined attacker will eventually crack the WEP key – though it may take weeks using client traffic alone. - Wireless Zone
For more secure authentication, you have an option to use 802.1x type of authentication and enhance with WPA2 encryption offered by Aruba Controller.
