     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     A system  10  for securely connecting a wireless device to a single access point in a vehicle for a predetermined work assignment is set for the  FIGS.  1  and  1 A . The system  10  preferably comprises a remote server (cloud)  11 , a vehicle gateway device  130 , a smart device  110  and a passive device  61 . The vehicle gateway device  130  is preferably a connected vehicle device (“CVD”). 
     The server/cloud  11  accesses dataset  12  and obtains driver information. Vehicle information, mobile device information (MAC address), passive device information (beacon ID) and other information to compile a SCP  14 . At block  15 , the server  11  provides SCP definitions to the vehicle gateway device  130  and the mobile device  110 . At block  16  the server/cloud  11  authorizes the SCP. At block  17 , the server/cloud  11  communicates with the vehicle gateway device  130 . 
     The vehicle gateway device  130  uses datasets  22 , with the beacon ID  23 , a scan of wireless devices  24  along with the SCP definitions  26  received from the server/cloud  11  to compile a CVD compiled SCP  25 . The CVD compiled SCP packet is sent to the cloud/server  11  at block  16  and authorization/validation of the CVD compiled SCP is received at block  27 . At block  28  the SCP is authorized for broadcasting at the vehicle gateway device  130  a wireless network with a hidden and hashed SSID unique to the vehicle, the hidden and hashed SSID generated from the validated SCP. At block  29 , the vehicle gateway device  130  communicates the broadcast with the server/cloud  11 . At block  31 , the vehicle gateway device  130  communicates with other devices, namely the smart device  110  over preferably a WiFi hotspot  32  and the passive device  61  by pairing using a BLUETOOTH communication protocol at block  33 . 
     At block  49 , the smart device (mobile device)  110  compiles a complied mobile device SCP from the SCP definitions  42 , the data sets  48 , the beacon ID  43 , the Tablet ID  45 , a driver ID  46 , a vehicle ID  47  and scan of wireless devices  44 . The mobile device  110  generates the hashed SSID and a passphrase from the complied mobile device SCP. At block  51 , the mobile device  110  connects to the WiFi hotspot  32  of the vehicle device gateway  130 . 
     The passive device  61  broadcast a unique ID at block  62  which is received by the mobile device  110  and the vehicle gateway device  130 . At block  63 , if a BLUETOOTH device, it broadcasts a BLUETOOTH advertisement at block  64 . 
     The SCP is defined by an assigning authority in the server/cloud  11 . The server/cloud  11  sends the SCP definition and any other required data in datasets to the CVD  130  and the mobile device  110 . The CVD  130  adds the contextual data from local datasets to the sever-sent data to compile its SCP based definition. The local datasets include data wirelessly scanned from passive devices, preferably transmitting a BLUETOOTH beacon. Other local datasets include information from the vehicle. The CVD  130  sends its compiled SCP to the server  11  for authorization. The server  11  verifies the CVD compiled SCP, and if valid, the server  11  transmits a validation/approval signal to the CVD  130 . The CVD then generates an access point SSID/passphrase with SCP. Likewise, the mobile device  110  utilizes contextual data from local datasets to compile its SCP based on the definitions. The mobile device  110  connects to the access point of the CVD  130  using the SCP. The CVD  130  and the mobile device  110  also connect to the passive device  61  since it is part of the SCP definition. 
     A predetermined work assignment is a temporal event with a fixed start and completion based on assignable boundary conditions. The assignable boundary condition is at least one of a predetermined time period, a geographical destination, and a set route. Alternatively, the assignable boundary condition is any feature with a beginning and a termination. The assigning authority is performed by a person or persons, who have the appropriate authority and mechanisms to assign specific tasks and assets to a specific vehicle and vehicle operator or custodian, and to assign workflow assignments to same. The predetermined work assignment is assigned to a known person or entity that has its own primary networked device accessible through a password protected user interface, a specific name and password that auto-populates or otherwise automatically satisfies a plurality of credentials requirements, wherein the plurality of credential requirements are automatically available or revoked based on the assignable boundary condition identified in a pairing event. 
     The CVD  130  broadcasts a Wifi wireless network with a hidden and hashed SSID unique to the host vehicle and protected by a unique, dynamically generated and hashed passphrase. The vehicle ID is entered into an application on the tablet that is then converted to the same hashed SSID and passphrase, which allows the tablet to attempt to connect to the corresponding CVD Wifi network and begin communication. 
     A method  900  for a secure connection to a wireless network of a vehicle is shown in  FIG.  2   . At block  901 , a server generates definitions for a SCP for assigning authority for a vehicle. At block  902  the server transmits the definitions for the SCP packet to a CVD and a mobile device. At block  903 , the CVD compiles the SCP to generate a CVD compiled SCP. At block  904 , the CVD transmits the CVD compiled SCP to the server for authorization. At block  905 , the server transmits authorization for the CVD compiled SCP from to the CVD for creation of a validated SCP. At block  906 , the mobile device generates a dataset to compile a mobile device compiled SCP. At block  907 , the CVD broadcasts at a wireless network with a hidden and hashed SSID unique to the vehicle. The hidden and hashed SSID is generated from the validated SCP. At block  908 , the mobile device generates the hashed SSID and a passphrase from the dataset, which allows the mobile device connect to the wireless network. At block  909 , the mobile device searches for a vehicle having the CVD broadcasting the wireless network in a hidden mode. At block  910 , the mobile device securely connects with the CVD. 
     One embodiment is a system for vehicle to mobile device secure wireless communications. The system comprises a vehicle  210 , a CVD  130 , a mobile device  110  and a passive communication device  61 .

The CVD  130  comprises a processor, a WiFi radio, a BLUETOOTH radio, a memory, and a connector for mating with the connector plug of the vehicle. The mobile device  110  comprises a graphical user interface, a mobile application, a processor, a WiFi radio, and a cellular network interface. The passive communication device  61  operates on a BLUETOOTH communication protocol. The server  11  is configured to generate a plurality of definitions for a SCP for assigning authority for the vehicle. The server  11  is configured to transmit the plurality of definitions for the SCP from the server to the CVD  130  and the mobile device  110 . The CVD  130  is configured to compile the SCP packet to generate a CVD compiled SCP. The CVD  130  is configured to transmit the CVD compiled SCP to the server  11  for authorization. The server  11  is configured to transmit authorization for the CVD compiled SCP to the CVD  130  for creation of a validated SCP. The mobile device  110  is configured to generating a dataset to compile a mobile device compiled SCP. The CVD  130  is configured to broadcast a wireless network with a hidden and hashed SSID unique to the vehicle, the hidden and hashed SSID generated from the validated SCP. The mobile device  110  is configured to generate the hashed SSID and a passphrase from the dataset, which allows the mobile device connect to the wireless network. The mobile device  110  is configured to search for a vehicle having the CVD broadcasting the wireless network in a hidden mode. The mobile device  110  is configured to connect to the CVD  130  over the wireless network. 
     The dataset preferably comprises at least one of a plurality of definitions for the SCP, a tablet ID, a driver ID, a vehicle ID, a beacon ID, identified or defined entity/participant to the transaction, descriptions, actions, or states of thing, characteristics of identifiable devices, when present in a certain proximity and/or context. 
     Optionally, the mobile device  110  connects to a passive device, the passive device operating on a BLUETOOTH communication protocol. The passive device  61  is preferably a BLUETOOTH enabled device advertising a unique ID as a beacon or a complex system (speaker, computer, etc.) that emits BLUETOOTH enabled device advertising a unique ID as a beacon. 
     The mobile device  110  preferably receives input from a driver of the vehicle, and/or the server  11  contains the assigning authority that generates the SCP definitions.

     As shown in  FIG.  3   , each of a multitude of trucks  210   a - 210   d  broadcast a wireless signal for a truck specific network, with one truck  210   c  broadcasting a wireless signal  225 . However, the SSID is not published so unless a driver is already in possession of the SSID, the driver will not be able to pair the tablet computer  110  with the CVD  130  of the truck  210  to which the driver is assigned. So even though the wireless signals are being “broadcast”, they will not appear on a driver&#39;s tablet computer  110  (or other mobile device) unless the tablet computer  110  has already been paired with the CVD  130  of the vehicle  210 . A driver  205  in possession of a tablet computer  110  pairs, using a signal  230 , the tablet computer  110  with the wireless network  225  of the CVD of the truck  210   c , and thus the driver locates the specific truck  210   c  he is assigned to in a parking lot full of identical looking trucks  210   a - d.    
     For example, on an IPHONE® device from Apple, Inc., the “UDID,” or Unique Device Identifier is a combination of forty numbers and letters, and is set by Apple and stays with the device forever. 
     For example, on an ANDROID based system, one that uses Google Inc.&#39;s ANDROID operating system, the ID is set by Google and created when an end-user first boots up the device. The ID remains the same unless the user does a “factory reset” of the phone, which deletes the phone&#39;s data and settings. 
     The mobile communication device  110 , or mobile device, is preferably selected from mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, PDAs and the like. Examples of smartphones and the device vendors include the IPHONE® smartphone from Apple, Inc., the DROID® smartphone from Motorola Mobility Inc., GALAXY S® smartphones from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and many more.

The truck  210   a  may also have a GPS component for location and navigation purposes, a satellite radio such as SIRIUS satellite radio, a driver graphical interface display, a battery, a source of fuel and other components found in a conventional long distance truck. 
     Also in the truck  210   a  is a CVD  130  comprising a processor, a WiFi radio, a BLUETOOTH radio, a memory and a connector to connect to the connector plug of the on-board computer  232 . 
     A driver  205  preferably has a mobile communication device such as a tablet computer  110  in order to pair with a wireless network generated by the CVD  130  of the truck  210   a . The tablet computer  110  preferably comprises a graphical user interface  335 , a processor  310 , a WiFi radio  307 , a BLUETOOTH radio  306 , and a cellular network interface  308 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  8   , each of a multitude of trucks  210   a - 210   k  broadcast a wireless signal  224   a - k  for a truck specific network, with one truck  210   f  broadcasting a wireless signal  225 . However, all of the wireless signal  224   a - 224   k  and  225  do not publish their respective SSID so that a mobile device  110  must already be paired with the CVD  130  of the truck  210  in order to connect to the truck based wireless network  224   a - 224   k  or  225  of each of the CVDs  130  of each of the trucks  210   a - 210   k . A driver  205  in possession of a tablet computer  110  pairs with the specific truck wireless network  225  of the CVD  130  of the truck  210   f , and thus the driver locates the specific truck  210   f  he is assigned to in a parking lot full of identical looking trucks  210   a - 210   k.
