DKIM is based almost entirely on DomainKeys (DKIM = DomainKeys
Identified Mail), basically merging it with a couple of other
standards. It uses the same mechanism, a public encryption key stored
in a DNS record, to authenticate the sender. (The message header is
slightly different.)

So if you have a regulatory or contractual requirement to use
DomainKeys, using DKIM may satisfy that requirement. (Though IANAL, of
course.)
