The NONCE_LENGTH I fixed last night in response to JVT comments.  I will do the clone also.  Thanks for the comments!

Also:

   65         if (nonce.length == 12) {
   66             this.nonce = nonce.clone();
   67         } else {
   68             throw new IllegalArgumentException(
   69                     "Nonce must be 96-bits in length");
   70         }

You should clone nonce before you check the length and check the length 
on the copy, not the parameter passed in. Also, you should use 
NONCE_LENGTH instead of 12 since it is already defined as a constant in 
the class.
