Name/Token pairs are pretty useful, but how secure are they?

If created on a system level (IEANTCR, IEANT_SYSTEM_LEVEL) could any address 
space access the pair if the name was known?  I presume yes.  How difficult is 
it to "guess" the name?

Is there a control block chain of name/token pairs that any (authorized / 
unauthorized) program can "read" to see every name/token in the system, 
regardless of level, or just those pairs created with system level ?

If no, and the pairs are safely hidden away and/or encrypted, then fine.
If yes, then it's an open book, and care might be taken before putting 
sensitive data in the token.

However, even if these pairs are an open book, the token could be encrypted by 
the creator.  Same with the name.

Just wondering
