If you are using enterprise edition you can use native encryption https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e40393/asoconfg.htm#ASOAG9592 . If you are on enterprise edition you can also pay for the advanced security option license if you want authentication along with data encryption (SSL, TLS).

The features comparison page that Oracle has states that security options are not available for standard edition. https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBLIC/editions.htm#DBLIC116

I've implemented encryption for data in transit, data at rest, and TLS for 11.2 and 12.1. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
