What's the best technology for to authorise request made by my app/website to my server?

I want only my website and app to be able to communicate with my GAE server.

Are you familiar with the GAE Endpoints service? IMO, the two big advantages of it are that it simplifies:

  • the provision of web services to multiple clients type, including Android, web, and iOS,
  • the use of OATH2 for client authorization (either Google User authorization, or just app authorization).

I mention it because both of these seem to apply to your situation.

Note though that endpoints is still in preview, and they really mean it. It was released more then a year ago and it has been a bumpy road.
