> A valid descriptor would be "Encrypted". Someone should conduct a poll with a mockup of a URL bar that says "Encrypted" instead, asking a wide variety of users to describe what it means. When users look at that part of the URL bar, there's an implicit question being asked of the UI. Describing a URL as "Secure", "Private", or even "Encrypted" is a partial answer, users will infer the rest and they'll get it wrong a lot of the time.
