In this work we compute the CP-violating currents of the right-handed stops and Higgsinos, induced by the presence of non-trivial vacuum expectation values of the Higgs fields within the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP-violating phases. Using the Keldysh formalism, we perform the computation of the currents at finite temperature, in an expansion of derivatives of the Higgs fields. Contrary to previous works, we implement a resummation of the Higgs mass insertion effects to all orders in perturbation theory. While the components of the right-handed stop current j^\mu_{\widetilde t_R} become proportional to the difference H_2 \partial^{\mu}H_1-H_1 \partial^{\mu} H_2 (suppressed by \Delta\beta), the Higgsino currents, j^\mu_{\widetilde{H}_i}, present contributions proportional to both H_2 \partial^{\mu}H_1\pm H_1 \partial^{\mu} H_2. For large values of the charged Higgs mass and moderate values of \tan\beta the contribution to the source proportional to H_2 \partial^{\mu}H_1+H_1 \partial^{\mu} H_2 in the diffusion equations become sizeable, although it is suppressed by the Higgsino number violating interaction rate \Gamma_\mu^{-1/2}. For small values of the wall velocity, 0.04\simlt v_\omega \simlt 0.1, the total contribution leads to acceptable values of the baryon asymmetry for values of the CP-violating phases \phi_{CP} in the range 0.04\simlt|\sin\phi_{CP}|\simlt 1. Finally, we comment on the relevance of the latest results of Higgs searches at LEP2 for the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis within the MSSM.
