A system for generating a hash tree with components grouped by component type is provided. Each non-leaf node of the hash tree has a hash of the hashes of its child nodes, and a leaf node has a hash of a component of the hash tree. The system generates, for each component type, a component subtree for that component type based on the leaf nodes that have hashes of the components of that component type. The system then generates a root subtree of the hash tree based on leaf nodes that are the root nodes of the component subtrees. The combination of the root subtree and the component subtrees form the hash tree.
