Thanks for the response (for some reason I just got the e-mail notification of it now).
I'm already using Cloud Endpoints (with multiple client apps). The Cloud Backends I was referring to were introduced at IO13. They are unrelated to GAE Backends though they run on GAE. Using Cloud Endpoints I got focussed on User authentication, and somehow missed the option for app authentication that you described. Thanks for the links.
