【Abstract】Autonomous Vehicle Platoon (AVP) is the most anticipated application of 5G ultrareliable and low latency communications. By joining the preexisting platoon to form the real-time AVP (RAVP), individual vehicles could gain benefits such as fuel consumption reduction and traffic safety enhancement. Unlike the scheduled AVP which only contains fixed vehicles, members in RAVP change frequently since individual vehicles would want to join or leave the platoon any time. Besides, malicious vehicles may attempt to sneak into the RAVP and try to manipulate the platoon. Public key cryptography and access control mechanisms can be adopted to create a relatively isolated area for communication inside the platoon. Nevertheless, there exist few works that take into account the regulation of the dynamic change members in RAVP. In this paper, we propose a membership management scheme for 5G-enabled RAVP by integrating revocable attribute-based encryption (RABE) and blockchain, namely, GAP-MM. It realizes fine-grained access control of key distribution and malicious vehicle's key revocation efficiently. The sufficient evaluations and security analysis indicate that GAP-MM is practical for RAVP scenario in terms of both efficiency and security.
