Abstract
Techniques and tools for flexible authentication and authorization of services on a push framework. For example, a push notification framework allows services (social networking web services, etc.) to use either an authenticated access mode or an unauthenticated access mode, in order to push information to client devices (e.g., mobile devices). In the authenticated mode, the push framework requires registration of the service with the push framework before allowing the service to push notifications to client devices. Different authenticated modes are provided for third-party and first-party services. In the unauthenticated mode, registration is not required, but notifications are throttled, thereby limiting risk of abuse by unauthenticated services. This allows flexibility for services that use the push framework.
