The rapid evolution of wireless communication infrastructure, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally transformed modern information systems. Traditional wireless network security mechanisms, which focus primarily on end-to-end data transmission protection using cryptographic techniques, are no longer adequate for the complex demands of cloud-based collaborative services. The shift from data transmission to cloud-driven information services introduces new security vulnerabilities across cloud platforms, network layers, and end devices. To address this critical challenge, this paper proposes a Cloud-Network-End Collaborative Security Architecture that provides coordinated protection across all three layers. The proposed framework integrates Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) for data confidentiality, SHA-256 for integrity verification, role-based access control for authorization, and a centralized cloud server for scalable data management. The architecture is implemented using Java EE (JSP, Servlets), Apache Tomcat, and MySQL, and is evaluated through functional and non-functional testing. Results demonstrate improved data confidentiality, end-to-end integrity assurance, and efficient access control in heterogeneous network environments. The proposed system supports emerging applications including smart cities, healthcare, autonomous transportation, and industrial IoT, providing a trustworthy and scalable security foundation for next-generation wireless environments.
