1. A method for a secure connection to a wireless network of a vehicle, the method comprising:
compiling, at a server, a secure connection packet (SCP) by accessing a dataset and obtaining driver information, vehicle information, MAC address information for a mobile device, and beacon identification information;
transmitting, from the server, a plurality of SCP definitions to a vehicle gateway device and the mobile device;
authorizing, at the server, the SCP;
compiling, at the vehicle gateway device, a complied SCP from the plurality of SCP definitions, the beacon ID, and a scan of a plurality of wireless devices;
receiving, at the server from the vehicle gateway device, the compiled SCP;
transmitting the authorization for the compiled SCP from the server to the vehicle gateway device for creation of a validated SCP;
broadcasting, at the vehicle gateway device, a secure wireless network with a hidden and hashed SSID unique to the vehicle and protected by a passphrase, the hidden and hashed SSID and passphrase generated from the validated SCP; and
connecting, over the secure wireless network, the vehicle gateway device to the mobile device that generated the hashed SSID and the passphrase from a dataset generated from the plurality of definitions.
