The increasing demand for secure and efficient data sharing has underscored the importance of developing robust cryptographic schemes. However, many existing endeavors have overlooked the following critical issues: (1) unauthorized access resulting from malicious information leakage by senders; (2) absence of constraints on write and read permissions for participants; (3) and inflexibility of strategies to dynamically designate ciphertexts to multiple recipients. In this paper, we present SCPA, a cross-domain access control scheme imbued with sanitization features and propelled by policy-driven dynamic authorization, tailored for cloud-based data sharing. This scheme not only facilitates access controls, including regulations for no-read and no-write stipulations, governing the data permissible for senders to transmit and recipients to acquire but also enables the dynamic sharing of a data ciphertext subset with additional recipients beyond the originally sanctioned ones. We also provide comprehensive security proofs rigorously indicating the security of the invented SCPA. Moreover, to assess the efficacy of our SCPA, we undertake thorough theoretical and experimental analyses, showcasing its feasibility and superior performance.
