So i am lead to believe you can for production and development purposes but we do not have CA - issued certs that are trusted by other servers to handshake with clients. As you can see why should i trust you as a CA. thus ensuring who you claims to be is governed by a TRUSTED CA. I hope this helped as i am currently working on this in our organisation.
