Oracle is not a CA, and therefore cannot issue certificates. Oracle can, however, issue temporary certificates that aren't 'certified' to the user/company/server. These can be used for testing, but a real certificate is need for production servers. There are professional CA companies that you should contact to buy a certificate.
