How not to secure wireless sensor networks revisited: Even if you say it twice it's still not secure

Two recent papers describe almost exactly the same group key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks. Quite part from the duplication issue, we show that both protocols are insecure and should not be used - a member of a group can successfully impersonate the key generation centre and persuade any other group member to accept the wrong key value. This breaks the stated objectives of the schemes.
