Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT)SWFT Website: https://www.dss.mil/GW/ShowBinary/DSS/diss/swft.html To Get Started… • From the DSS website, select SWFT from the Applications Menu. • Then select “SWFT Registration Access Test Procedures” and follow the steps to get started.
SWFT Registration, Application Access, and Testing • You must have your FBI approved ten-print live scan systems or card scanners; then you must obtain the DSS Configuration Guide from the SWFT Coordinator. • Registration: All ten-print live scan and card equipment must be certified by the FBI. In addition, ANY equipment capturing and sending electronic fingerprints must be registered with OPM. • Application Access: All SWFT users must complete a System Access Request (SAR) form. DoD Call Center will maintain SARs for accounts they create, SWFT Account Managers will maintain SARs for accounts they create. • Testing: All ten-print live scan and card reader equipment must be tested with OPM’s Store and Forward test server. Users will send test records via SWFT, OPM will validate the data and authorize when e-prints can be submitted to the production system.
DSS OPM How SWFT Works Sites With e-print capability • eFPCs are captured at the local facility, then saved and stored on a local hard drive • Click the LSMS icon and select “New” to begin process • Enter requested information (current date, personal/physical description) • Capture and save print images via Guardian e-print station • Log in to SWFT, locate prints you wish to upload and submit to DSS via Biometric Up loader • eFPCs are forwarded to the DSS store and forward server • DSS will receive prints electronically and will cross check with e-QIP and JPAS • DSS will forward ePFC to OPM • OPM will schedule and open the investigation Sites with scanner capability • Capture prints using current/ink stamp system • Scan hard copy prints via approved scanner • Encrypt and e-mail prints to designated site • Designated site will convert to electronic file and forward to DSS Sites without scanner capability • Capture prints using current/ink stamp system • Mail hard copy prints to Designated site • Designated site will scan and convert hard copy prints to electronic file • Designated site will upload and submit prints to DSS via Biometric Up loader Note: System does not have spell check so double check your input. Name/DoB//PoB must match eQIP/JPAS exactly or eFPC will be rejected.
SWFT Equipment • There are many vendors who offer equipment to support the electronic submission of electronic fingerprints • DSS will not provide any vendor specifications or cost information • DSS minimal requirements are the use of FBI certified ten-print equipment or FBI certified card scanner • Information on certified fingerprint systems may be found at http://www.fbibiospecs.org/fbibiometric/iafis/default.aspx
Federal Information Processing Codes (FIPC)(effective 11/15/08) • When initiating Investigation Requests, indicate how fingerprint cards will be submitted: • Code 7 – indicates FPC not required • Code I – indicates FPC electronic transmission* • Code J – indicates FPC mailed
