This error message indicates that the target web application if running Microsoft SQL and discloses directory structures.

How do you use RSA for both authentication and secrecy?

RSA is based upon public key/private key concept.

For authentication one can encrypt the hash (MD5/SHA) of the data with a private key. This is known as digital signature.

And secrecy / confidentiality is achieved by encrypting the data with the public key of the target user.

Generally we dont use RSA for encryption because of key size (1024 bits).
Rather a symmetric session key (128/256 bit) is established between communicating parties and is used for encryption.
