He might be talking about cipher test that respected cryptography libs do on initialisation to verify integrity.

Skipping those seem like a really bad idea.

Why? Is there any realistic scenario where your cryptography libs worked correctly yesterday but the exact same ones will be buggy today? What would be wrong with them just running once per build instead?

Join their Zulip and search for bcryptprimitives. That's where I got my info.
