Abstract
The invention relates, in particular, to a method for updating secure elements included in terminals of a telecommunication network.

In the context of a process for updating the secure elements, the method comprises transmitting messages requesting connection to the secure elements such that the latter connect to the server. According to the invention, the method comprises the prioritized transmission of the messages requesting connection to the secure elements in an order that is the reverse of the first order, in order to update, on a prioritized basis, the last secure elements that were updated by the recurrent updates from the start of the update process.
