Thank you for clearing this up. But if my wallet address (not priv key) is known or shown as a transaction on the blockchain, one could not have access to all of my wallet addresses?

Your public addresses lay unencrypted on an online machine so anyone with access to that file has your entire WO. However, someone that identifies any amount of your addresses on the blockchain cannot compute any other address without the chaincode. Even if they identify 2 consecutive addresses, since the multiplier (pubKey N XOR chaincode) is hashed before the modulo multiplication, they can't retrieve your chaincode from that.

The chaincode is never used on anything that hits the blockchain, so any amount of blockchain only data cannot be used to compute any keys on your chain. The chaincode is an Armory only thing and completely alien to the Bitcoin protocol. So someone trying to reveal your public chain has to go after your wallet file.
