Is Electroweak Baryogenesis Dead?

Electroweak baryogenesis is an extremely testable framework. Its most popular realizations, in the MSSM and in general two Higgs doublet models, are either excluded or pushed to such a small corner of parameter space as to strain credibility. One might wonder whether it is still possible to design robust working models in light of new LHC constraints. I will address this question, with emphasis on a model that can also provide the dark matter.
