I'm trying to determine what level of encryption salesforce supports for DKIM keys? In sum, when Salesforce generates a DKIM key, is it using 1024 bit encryption or 2048 bit encryption?

It is using 1024 bits as of today, February 6th 2019. Keys are rotated often though.

The salesforce documentation does not explicitly describes the DKIM RSA key size, but the options are visible when creating a new key: it is either 1024-bit or 2048-bit (attached screenshot for reference)
Take note of following recommendation, which is also mentioned in salesforce documentation in above link and setup page when creating a new key:
Consider industry-specific security regulations or email recipient limitations when chosing a RSA key size. Some regulations, such as the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), require specific key sizes.
