I’m including security-dev which would be a better list to review this test fix.

Valerie,
   Does this test have to be order-sensitive?  I think this test would be cleaner to make it order-insensitive and simply test the security provider initialization.

See my comments below.

In an offline conversation it was decided that it is better to split this tests into a few tests to declare the per-platform module dependencies.

The copyright header start year of the new tests should be 2016.

I would suggest to make CheckSecurityProvide a platform-neutral test, i.e.,
- drop @requires
- make line 94-97 to ignore the platform-dependent provider if it’s present in the white list

If we could make this test order-insensitive, it’d be cleaner to maintain a platform-neutral list of security providers and one list for the platform-dependent security providers for each platform.  Just an idea.
