From cuneiform to codeword

What to know

What can we learn from the ancient Greeks, from Roman bureaucracy, and from the Knights Templar when it comes to information security? Quite a lot, in fact. Information security is becoming more and more important as we use IT for almost everything in our daily lives. That's why we've invited Sarah Aalborg to come and tell us about information security throughout human history. There is a fairly straight line from the clay tablets of Mesopotamia to your bank statement, from the Pope's signet ring to your Mit ID, and from Roman generals to your password. If you don't quite believe it, stop by Roskilde Library, where Sarah Aalborg unfolds the historical context for your digital security, and shows why the problems we struggle with today are fundamentally the same as those people have struggled with inseveral thousand years. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Roskilde Bibliotek - Address: Dronning Margrethes Vej 14, Roskilde, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 25
