How to secure an oracle 12c standard edition database connection?

All of the information on Oracles website (that I've found so far) is for enterprise edition. How do I create a secure connection from an oracle client to a 12c DB in standard edition? Thanks for the assist.

You can force your server to accept only encrypted client connections by setting SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER=required in your servers SQLNET.ORA. The default is accepted which would allow unencrypted connections, too. See the Oracle Documentation

This feature is available for all licensed editions of all supported releases. Quote from 12c Database Licensing Information User Manual, Section "Oracle Wallet":

Strong authentication services (Kerberos, PKI, and RADIUS) and network encryption (native network encryption and SSL/TLS) are no longer part of Oracle Advanced Security and are available in all licensed editions of all supported releases of the Oracle database.
