Recovering AES encrypted data from exported SQL
Posted by: Jon Pulsipher

My table has a medium text blob column that I insert AES_encrypted text into.
I have an exported SQL file containing a record I need to recover, but I notice that this method doesn't seem to preserve trailing padding.
Inserting the data back into the blob column and then AES_decrypting it returns a NULL. My thinking is that this is because of the padding.

Is there ANYONE that knows how to recover this data?
What is the padding character used by AES_encrypt? Can I just add that manually to the end of the string of characters I'm inserting back into the blob?

Is there any way to recover the data in this column from a SQL export?
