Very different type theories for binary and multiparty protocols have been developed; establishing precise connections between them remains an open problem. We present the first formal relation between two existing theories of binary and multiparty session types: a binary system rooted in linear logic, and a multiparty system based on automata theory. Our results enable the analysis of multiparty protocols using a (much simpler) type theory for binary protocols, ensuring protocol fidelity and deadlock-freedom. As an application, we offer the first theory of multiparty session types with behavioral genericity. This theory is natural and powerful; its analysis techniques reuse results for binary session types. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.1 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432929/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432929/file/426757_1_En_6_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01432929 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432929 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-FORTE %~ IFIP-LNCS-9688
