First note, that certs aren't a requirement for IBCM, they are a requirement for HTTPS client mode which in turn is a requirement for IBCM.
Technically, not a problem. A cert is a cert is a cert. As long as the certs you use meet the requirements outline on TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699362.aspx Logistics and money are the typical barrier though: specifically, you need to purchase and distribute the client certs to every device you need to manage using HTTPS client communication and IBCM and then you have to renew and re-issue them when they expire because certs expire. Also note I wrote certS with a capital S - each client requires its own unique certificate. If you are only managing 2 clients using IBCM, that's not too expensive at all, if you are managing 2,000, that's pretty expensive.

Gathering my facts now for implementing IBCM with 2012. Unsure of relying on our PKI so looking at the possiblity of using VeriSign certs. Looking for pros/cons and whether this is a supported method.
