What is the best way to identify a machine / user in Google Chrome Extention?

Question

I have a web application and is complemented by a chrome extension for it that sends data in the background to the web application. Now I want to send this data to the appropriate user account in the web application. Which method should be used? How do I handle authentication?

I was wondering if there is a way to identify the machine ID or something that I can register when the user logs in, but I see no way to get the machine ID.

Please suggest a better way to implement this.

Thank!
