Security::cipher() and mysqldump

I know there have been discussions surrounding the issue of suhosin with Cake's Security::cipher() method. I am in the process of discontinuing usage of Cake's ciphering functionality due to this issue. However, I do have existing data that has been ciphered already. My problem is that the data has been exported (via mysqldump) and then imported back into the same database (on the exact same server). What I didn't notice until after the fact, is that the ciphered data now looks different than it originally did. As a result, it's essentially corrupted. Is there anything I can do as I no longer have the originally created ciphered data, but only mysqldumps of it.
