be hacked). Often the solution is to use trusted third parties (banks,
government, etc) that makes it costly for A or C to fake things. As long as
the cost or hassle is big enough, there will be little abuse.

You can also, if this is an institutional user, insist upon account
creation on some Z that is also employed by S.  That way, you don't have a
single point of failure.  Of course, either A or C could collaborate with Z
to defraud S, but the odds of this are lower.  (More importantly, from your
business's point of view, you're likely off the hook if that does happen:
you don't need to absolutely prevent fraud, just enough to prevent legal
liability.)
