There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the fix, looks correct and should resolve the P‑521 encoding issue. I left a few small remarks in the review.

The r and s values returned by the WebCryptoAPI are assigned as byte buffers to the asn1js.Integer class (new asn1js.Integer({ valueHex: rBuffer });).
The WebCryptoAPI does not apply any formatting to these values; it outputs byte arrays whose lengths correspond to the bit length (order) of the elliptic curve. As a result, smaller numerical values are left-padded with 0x00 bytes, which can lead to invalid or misinterpreted ASN.1 encodings. See asn1IntTest.spec.ts.
As a solution we propose to convert to BigInt and use the asn1js.Integer.fromBigInt method.
This should solve #385
