The '''graphical identification and authentication''' ('''GINA''') library, is 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.
