The word trust in computer security discussions is inappropriate. Here's my reasoning:
Proposition 1: If A trusts B and B is compromised then A is also compromised.
Proposition 2: If A depends on B for confidentiality and B is compromised then A losses confidentiality.
In Proposition 1 the trust relationship means that B is totally compromised whereas in Proposition 2 B only looses confidentiality. Therefore it is best to replace sentences containing the word trust with phrases "depends on" to express the precise dependency relationship.
