I'm creating a web service with create/update/delete calls. But for now I'd like to restrict use of it on my own web app and no other clients. How can I have clear text javascript code that makes these calls but still be confident the credentials won't be used elsewhere?

My idea is to use server side generated nonces for each request. But I am open to different ideas you guys may have. Thanks.
