I need to find a way of uniquely identifying each device (ChromeBook / ChromeBox) using a Chrome App, I have taken a look through the Chrome App docs and also at the docs for creating a native plugin using the pepper api.

But I can't see the ability to identify a device in either, just a user (which isn't sufficient for my use).

Can this be done? How can I achive this?

    Did you find a way to uniquely identify ChromeOS devices? – Anna Aug 20 '14 at 08:33

    Unfortunately not. I found that I could create my own and store them on the device but they were only persistent until the user wiped/reset the device which wasn't good enough for my use case. – John Aug 20 '14 at 09:20

Have you tried using navigator.userAgent in your JavaScript? as different devices/OS tend to use some dedicate keywords in the UserAgent string to identify themselves on the Internet.
