I can't speak for others, but just for myself: the way I understand the term "trust" (in contrast with "security" or "protection"), and what I meant with it on my previous message, is as a measure of how confident a user would feed about providing (generally sensitive) data to a website. Ie: a user that absolutely trusts a site won't hesitate to provide any kind of data to it; while a user who doesn't trust the site at all won't knowingly provide any data at all (of course, s/he'll still be providing a "request" HTTP header and similar details, but that's most probably not known by the user; otherwise the user wouldn't even visit the site). Of course, there is a full range of grays between these extremes.
