Yes it does, but no university can run AES only without kicking off a
significant number of users. And if we want to be guest-friendly then we
should not disable TKIP on our eduroam SSID at least for quite some time.
The fact that the policy allows us to run: dynamic WEP, WPA/TKIP,
WPA2/AES is exactly the problem. With a single SSID we have no option
but allow that, but this network will never work according to the
scenario "start your device and be on-line". eduroam2 can bring us a lot
closer to this, and what is more important, opens a path for achieving this.
