We do all of our encryption in the middleware:

        1) translate our data which requires encryption into an XML string
        2) compress + encrypt, yielding byte [].
        3) Store byte [] as a bytea column.

The resulting byte arrays are relatively small in our case (1 -> 3K), so bytea has seemed to suit us just fine.
