### POODLE attack on TLS 1.2

The POODLE attack uses the way block ciphers in CBC mode are decrypted in combination with the packet's padding to determine some byte's value. From what I understand, even TLS 1.1 can be vulnerable ...

### Proving an encrypted message contains (but does not 100% consist of) a plain-text message?

I have keypair (u,r), and two pieces of data, X and Y. I reveal X publicly but keep Y secret. Y has high entropy. I then concatenate X and Y, into Z. I encrypt Z, into "encrypt(Z,u) = Q". r is ...
