Abstract
The invention proposes a method for allocating, to a plurality of elements, authorisations for access to a shared resource, including the step (E4) of storing the address of elements capable of accessing the shared resource, characterised in that it includes the steps of determining (E6), for the plurality of elements, a number (TTJ) of authorisations for access to the resource, the said authorisations together forming a cycle, then successively assigning (E8, E80) each of the said authorisations to the elements, during the said cycle, an access authorisation being assigned to an element according to at least the number of times the element under consideration accessed the resource during the preceding cycle, and finally storing (E88, E890) the number of times each element accesses the resource during the said cycle.
