I would rather suggest to find the real reason for the problem and fix
it. It's a bug in some part of the code, not in MySQL.
If MySQL would have a problem with such data, you won't be able to store
BLOBs either. But a byte can be anything from 0x00..0xFF. Binary data is
binary data - MySQL won't touch it, so the problem is somewhere in the
scripts. Either the decryption fails or - even more likely - the data is
already improperly sent to the DB by the encryption script.
