"secure" means "secure connection" to me, and it sounds perfectly appropriate. Maybe you can't find a better term for "secure" because it's perfectly fine, already..?

- nkkollaw 9y agoIf you're looking to be user-friendly, I'm not sure "encrypted" would work, because many people aren't going to know what it means. I'm thinking specially in its inactive "not encrypted" version, where people aren't going to appreciate the gravity of a page being "not encrypted". I bet the folks at Google already thought about this through.
