Securely Authenticate iPhone App to Server?

What is the best/easiest way to authenticate a user from an iPhone client to a PHP/MySQL web-service? I have not set any authentication up and I want to keep track of the user so when I call my services it sends the username. I want to make sure this user is unique and if they lose their phone they will be able to re-download app and login with credentials.

This is very open ended question. Can you please provide some use cases that way we can help. If you are talking about Secure Authentication then just use HTTPS:

HTTPS was designed specifically to:

1)use encryption to defend against packet-sniffing

2)use certificates signed by an authority to defend against MITM
