Yesterday I had a long debate with a security expert about digital footprints, privacy, data, security, value and risk.  I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that "could", when used by the security and privacy profession, is used as a negative word that fuels fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Don’t forget to do a factory reset before you pass it on – or you will compromise your identity, privacy, security, reputation ……

Thinking about how to measure trust – starting with how to measure, which is an observation.  Therefore what observations will help me determine trust?
