ECDSA in JavaScript: secp256k1-based sign / verify / recoverPubKey

secp256k1-example.js

let elliptic = require('elliptic');
let sha3 = require('js-sha3');
let ec = new elliptic.ec('secp256k1');

// let keyPair = ec.genKeyPair();
let keyPair = ec.keyFromPrivate("97ddae0f3a25b92268175400149d65d6887b9cefaf28ea2c078e05cdc15a3c0a");
let privKey = keyPair.getPrivate("hex");
let pubKey = keyPair.getPublic();
console.log(`Private key: ${privKey}`);
console.log("Public key :", pubKey.encode("hex").substr(2));
console.log("Public key (compressed):",
    pubKey.encodeCompressed("hex"));

console.log();

let msg = 'Message for signing';
let msgHash = sha3.keccak256(msg);
let signature = ec.sign(msgHash, privKey, "hex", {canonical: true});
console.log(`Msg: ${msg}`);
console.log(`Msg hash: ${msgHash}`);
console.log("Signature:", signature);

console.log();

let hexToDecimal = (x) => ec.keyFromPrivate(x, "hex").getPrivate().toString(10);
let pubKeyRecovered = ec.recoverPubKey(
    hexToDecimal(msgHash), signature, signature.recoveryParam, "hex");
console.log("Recovered pubKey:", pubKeyRecovered.encodeCompressed("hex"));

let validSig = ec.verify(msgHash, signature, pubKeyRecovered);
console.log("Signature valid?", validSig);

The output of the above is:

Signature valid? true

I found your examples very helpful. But I am struggling on 1 thing..

How do I pass the "signature" in your example in javascript here to the

C# ECDSA-secp256k1-example.cs and verify with signature and the public key?

--Javascript --
var derSign = signature.toDER()

-- C# --
The derSign is loaded into C# from Javascript over the internet.

EthECDSASignature signatureNew = EthECDSASignature.FromDER(derSign);
var pubKeyRecovered = EthECKey.RecoverFromSignature(signatureNew, msgHash);

This would produce error, V is null. Therefore I can't verify the signature with publickey.

bool validSig = pubKeyRecovered.Verify(msgBytes, signature);
