Can you use cement to tile on an asphalt floor?
If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.

Cement used for ceramic floor tiles?
Ceramic floor tiles need an acrylic fortified thinset. The acrylic can be added as a liquid or can be already in the mix. There are premixed thinsets available on the market. These are not preferable since they are often not as strong. _________________________________________________________________________________ The cement used for fixing ceramic tiles is white cement or ordinary portland cement. The white cement gives better bonding than the ordinary cement. The use of white cement will not be economical when compared to ordinary cement.
