Line 1: ~~In computing, '''GINA''' refers to the~~The '''graphical identification and authentication''' ('''GINA''') library, a component of some [[Microsoft Windows]] [[operating system]]s ~~that~~ provides secure authentication and interactive [[logon]] services. GINA is a [[dynamically linked library]] that is loaded in the context of the [[Winlogon]] process when the machine is started. It is responsible for handling the [[secure attention key\|secure attention sequence]] (SAS), typically [[Control-Alt-Delete]], and interacting with the user when this sequence is received. GINA is also responsible for starting initial processes for a user (such as the [[Windows Shell]]) when they first log on.
